LOS ANGELES, CA (January 26, 2024) – Returning with his first release in two years, breakout pop prodigy Isaac Dunbarinvites fans into “Apartment A,” his new single out now via RCA Records.
Ushering in the new era of Isaac, “Apartment A” is a bold and boisterous pop dance track, an exuberant celebration of late nights and love affairs.
Accompanying the release is the single’s playful music video, debuted by PAPER this morning, who hailed the “gorgeous”release as an “electric, funk-laden track.” Directed by Hannah Bon, the “Apartment A” visual follows Isaac through a wild night at an extravagant house party, filled with beautiful and outlandish characters.
“‘Apartment A’ is about creating fame within yourself, seeing yourself as an icon. A complete opposite of insecurity,” says Isaac of the release. “It’s about the friends I made living in New York and how we found ourselves in our small apartments, gay clubs, and the hustle and bustle.”
The release of “Apartment A” is the first tease of new music since Isaac’s critically acclaimed EP Banish The Banshee in 2022, a conceptual body of work written and produced by Isaac which told the story of his life through a series of sonic parables. The project garnered praise from Billboard, The FADER, Consequence, Teen Vogue, NPR, Dazed, and more, earning him a nomination for ‘Breakthrough Music Artist’ at the 2023 GLAAD Media Awards.
About Isaac Dunbar
If Isaac Dunbar revealed himself to be a time traveler, it would make perfect sense. The Rhode Island-born and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer leaps between Broadway levels of theatrical bombast, skyscraping stadium rock hooks straight out of the seventies, nineties-esque alternative spirit, and larger-than-life two-thousands pop extravagance. There’s nothing subtle about him—and the world is better for it. Isaac’s keen emotional intuition and artistic acuity belie his age, and at just 20 years old, he has asserted himself as the rare talent who gleefully defies genres, rules, and eras all at once.
In between opening for girl in red during 2019, he unveiled music at a prolific pace. “onion boy” racked up over 32 million global streams, while his debut project balloons don’t float here instantly reacted with audiences. At 16, he inked a deal with RCA Records and served up isaac’s insects in 2020 and evil twin in 2021. The latter boasted “love, or the lack thereof,” amassing north of 26 million global streams. Along the way, VMAN attested, “an expert autodidact, Dunbar’s impressive knowledge of music theory and diverse tonal range have set the young vocalist apart from cookie-cutter pop.” Following acclaim from TIME, Billboard, Teen Vogue, Nylon, The FADER, LADYGUNN, NPR, and more, the Afro-Italian American crash landed with his 2022 EP, Banish The Banshee, with UPROXX declaring Isaac as the “up-and-coming, grandiose pop star we need right now.” The project was released to critical praise and earned Isaac a spot on GLAAD’s 20 Under 20 List and a nomination for ‘Breakthrough Music Artist’ at the 2023 GLAAD Media Awards. Now with new music on the way in 2024, Isaac is boldly stepping into the next era of his sonic journey.
