Sizelle is an emerging American artist, who specializes in a unique brand of alt-pop built on restraint and things left unsaid, informed by the gap between feelings that you can’t quite name and for the quiet end of a feeling.
Her debut single “Unwords” features a lush, dream-like production that — to my ears, at least — sounds like a synthesis of flamenco, Still Corners-like dream pop, Tales of Us-era Goldfrapp-like trip hop and Amy Winehouse-like soul paired with the emerging artist’s spellbinding delivery.
According to Sizelle, “Unwords” lives in the gap before grief becomes grief, before a loss becomes a loss, anchored in the instinctive sensation that something isn’t quite right, and it probably can’t be fixed.
