Starting off 2023 on top form, British gem Izzy Bizu explores the importance of friendships in her latest offering “Walk Away” - released through Hi-Tea Records.

Co-written with rising hitmaker Kal Lavelle (Ed Sheeran) and produced by Lloyd Hinshelwood (Mabel, Kelli Leigh) and Theo Douke (Sam Tompkins, RAYE), “Walk Away” comes together as an uplifting, empowering tune assisted by emerging vocalist Joe Devlin.

Of course, it’s Izzy’s signature, unrivalled vocal stylings which always elevate any track the Londoner graces to new heights; her sweet yet raw, powerfully emotive tones effortlessly soar over the breezy and mellow production of “Walk Away” , offering a uniquely enjoyable listening experience when compared to the playful, high-energy pop of October’s release “DUMB” .

Izzy Bizu says that: “‘Walk Away’ is about two friends giving advice to each other about how they should be treated in relationships. Know your worth and walk away if you're being held back - good energy is contagious.”

“Walk Away” follows on from Izzy’s huge collaboration in January with acclaimed Brazilian DJ Vintage Culture for their track “If I Live Forever”; written by Izzy about the loss of her father, the hopeful and euphoric “If I Live Forever” achieved 18 New Music Friday spots (incl. US & UK) as well as features across Spotify’s Mint, Dance Paradise, Electronic Rising and New Dance Beats playlists – taking its place as the latest addition to the vocalist’s envious catalogue of massive dance hits.

Initially catapulting to mainstream popularity with the commercial success of her hit “White Tiger” – which continues to connect with global audiences after going viral in recent times across social media – Izzy Bizu has maintained a strong presence with audiences, producing a consistent stream of well-received solo hits while collaborating over the years with a versatile pool of talent such as ODESZA, Chris Martin, HONNE, Jords, D Double E, Ferreck Dawn, Milky Chance and Tom Enzy.

With the critically acclaimed, award-winning artist taking time these past few years to hone in on her songwriting craft, “DUMB” and “Walk Away” signal a major pop comeback for Izzy. Backed by a wealth of new material helmed during sessions across London, Nashville and LA, “Walk Away” continues to mark this exciting new chapter in Izzy’s career as a celebrated mainstay in British pop and beyond.
