Ishani’s ‘Dark Angel’ Is A Plea For Mental Health Awareness

Beautiful pop songwriting melded to personal experience...

Indian-born Ishani had travelled the world before landing in London.

Initially arriving in the city to study audio engineering, she couldn't resist the pull of music, the urge to create.

Developing her own voice, Ishani's fastidious approach to sound turned languid trip hop – Massive Attack are a key touchstone – into the most divine pop music.

New single 'Dark Angel' continues her evolution, a highly personal plea for mental health awareness informed by the loss of two friends.

Honest and frank about the impact suicide can have on those left behind, it's a beautiful, exceptionally powerful piece of pop music.

She explains: “This song was pure therapy. It has helped me cope with the death of two of my friends, both of which turned my whole world upside down. I hope this song can help others. So many people are affected by suicide, whether it is the death of someone close to us or an idol."
