Katie: Wow! Izzy I never thought I would hear something like this from you. I love that you have brought piano into your sound, it makes it feel a lot more mature yet still very Izzy. This is really lovely. I like the theme as well. It's something I used to sing about a lot on my first album and you've hit the message just right. Beautiful as always!

OOC: Nice work :)

The live stream begins with Izzy sitting down on a tan colored couch, dressed down in a comfy off the sleeve black shirt and her hair down. She smiles at the camera and waves before she begins speaking.

"Hey guys! Thank you for joining me for this little surprise for my fans. I just wanted to announce, going off of what I said on Twitter, that the new BeYOU fall collection will be in stores next week at K Mart! It'll feature all the new styles that I got to come up, especially just in time for some lovely Christmas gifts. (Winks then laughs). So, I wanted to do this video chat to tell you a little about the clothing line and what inspired it.

I really love clothes and fashion, which is a very common thing among artists now. I wanted to create my own line and it was basically based off of my own personal style and what I think would be wonderful to see others wear. It's a modern bohemian style, I love bohemian clothing. It's really free and not too tight but not too baggy. The collection consists of and features bohemian dresses, floral tops, jeans, skirts, jackets, scarves and hats, all made from recycled or eco-friendly materials. All of the tags have inspirational quotes from me personally, I thought that was some special to every girl out there because you can never really hear too many uplifting quotes from people. It's important to me that girls feel confident and beautiful in my clothing. I wanted to make a girl's clothing line because I think I'd know girl's better than guys. (Laughs)

The title of it is 'BeYOU' which I think explains itself. You know, sometimes girls just want to throw on whatever and go. They don't want to have to dress up all the time or feel like they need to be on a runway all day long. I guess I had a little bit of fun in mind as I designed the clothes. Each season there is like a signature mark or pattern I like doing. In the Spring, I had a lot of vibrant color and floral prints and this season I wanted to do a lot of just really cute and comfortable clothing with color but also still have the fall colors, the blacks and browns. A really neat thing about my clothing line is that all of the fabric is organic. I really wanted to stress this to be used because it can help the environment. I'm all for going green you know, so that's a plus side of my clothing. Obviously, this is definitely for the fans so I will take some fan questions about the clothing line or anything else actually, I never get to chat with you guys anymore and then premiere the new commercial for my BeYOU Fall 2013 line.

Okay...the first one is from @CrazySexyFool..."


Will the clothing line be available anywhere else?

"Unfortunately, K Mart is the only place for right now that will have it.

The next is from....@HornyForSerenity oh my. (Laughs)"


Besides Alistair and the new clothing line, will we get anything else new from you in 2013?

"To be honest, I'm writing a lot but I have yet to record any music. I don't want to force it or feel like 'Okay, it's been a year, I need new music.' I like to things on my own time. I can say that possibly next year you guys might get some new music, I'm not sure yet. Nothing has been finalized.


The next question is from....@KatoIsMyDream"


How are Gizzy and Starr?

"Aww, thanks for asking! They are fine! They have gotten super big now and they live with me now. I recently got a new home so they are staying with me and they're such great pets.

Okay, from...okay, this is a funny username, excuse me if I sound totally weird saying it...@ChiChiGetThatYayo? Ha, love it, love them too!"


What artists do you listen to recently?

"Hmm...I listen to a love of different music now. I'm always a fan of rap. I just got the new Drake album, it's so amazing. I think it's the best thing ever! (Laughs) Umm...gosh..I really love Barbarian's music, she's really good and such an amazing dancer. Like I said earlier, I love Rum & Coke, I'm still listening to 7 Deadly Sins, ha. I love Miami's song 'Blazin My Own Trail', she's so gorgeous and I think she's a wonderful rapper, Aubrey Mikkel, really enjoy listening to her music too. Alex Simms, Kai Rollins, PURE, I'm still listening to Riot!'s like first album. Michelle Green, she's such an amamzing singer, yeah my range is very wide. I encourage all of my Izzybells to go check out all of those artists and their music, very talented.

I'll take a few more. Um, this is from @SuchABarbie"


How was working on The Sweet Unknown?

"Honestly, it was really amazing. I got to work with one of my best friends, Nadia and I got to work with some amazing artists I've never really came close to before like Isaac Lovelock, Cristina Lake and Ryan Ross Hernandez. It was fun playing my role (Smiles) I really got to go outside my comfort zone and yet have fun with it. I really love acting as much as I love singing and performing.

Last one....from....@NadiasBerryCute Nice. (Laughs)"


What will you be for Halloween & birthday plans?


"I have no idea. (Laughs) I have some ideas but I can't decide. I don't want to do a repeat. I was already Tinkerbell..then a witch, so those two are off limits. As for my birthday? I haven't even planned that either. I have no idea what I'll be doing. I know I definitely want a ncie family dinner, as always, and maybe a huge party at my place with all my close friends and just have fun since I'm turning 21. (Smiles)


Alright, thank you for the questions, now here it is, the premiere of my commercial for K Mart, I hope you all enjoy!"






Izzy is seen still sitting in front of the camera with her laptop in her lap now. "Thank you guys for tuning in! I had a great time, thank you so much for the questions. I will see you guys back here soon! Love you, stay beautiful." She blows a kiss before the camera turns off.

Ryan: It may sound like some of those are my Twitter account, but I assure you they are not. While I am not female nor have much fashion sense whatsoever, people have seen what I wear. At the end of the day, it's really cool that despite everything else you're doing you still set time aside to actually work closely in the creating of your clothing line instead of just sticking your name onto it. I support anything that's eco-friendly, so maybe I'll buy a scarf. If I were 21 and a female, I would totally rock your clothes. But unfortunately I'm nearly 36 and have a penis, so yeah.

Isabel: I am so embarrassed to say this but I've never heard your music before, will definitely search it now! :) Thank you, Oh, tell me about it. I have tons of bags. I felt like it was better to make it something anyone could get access to and there wasn't a super high price tag on it.

Release Review: NME Magazine
By Scott Hood

No one can deny the star power of Isabel Merjos. That much is true. With her sugary sweet image, her girl-next door looks and more catchy hook-laden pop tracks in a fledgling career than most can hope to produce in a lifetime, she's been a legitimate superstar for two or three years now, standing at the very top of the ladder alongside the likes of Vanity and Stephanie Fierce. However, if there's one criticism one could have of the youngest Merjos' rise to fame this far, it would be that she didn't quite tick all the boxes. With a solid fan base of youngsters behind her, Izzy's music was always, and has always been, perfect in every way for the demographic she aimed to hook, but outside of her own group of 'Izzybells' and occasional listeners, the youngster has arguably never quite grabbed that sort of crowd that would push her into the universal sphere, spearheading her own game rather than playing by the rules set out by those who came before her. That is, until now.

With the unveiling of her new single Release, it's time for the world's all-time top pop acts to start taking a nervous glance over their collective shoulder, because I'm afraid to say, Izzy just ticked that final box. On the first listen, Release is quite a jarring departure from the sort of music most will be used to hearing from a singer who really did snuggle herself nicely into her genre - and with fantastic effect. Gone are all the cute little love songs, banished are the tales of another teenage heartbreak, and forgotten are the memories of the young girl who won over so many hearts - Isabel Merjos just became a woman. From the ominous swirl of the wind that opens the track, to those first anguish ridden notes on an echoing keyboard, it doesn't take long to surmise that this is anything but just another Isabel Merjos song. And then she starts to sing. To say Isabel has undergone something of a transformation would be an understatement. Never previously heralded for her powerhouse vocals, it seems the youngster has undergone some sort of wicked evolution. From the first bar, her voice sounds soulful, full of depth and far darker than anything we have heard from her before, and it only gets even more breathtaking throughout as her voice grows in confidence and style, but without ever overdoing it.

On Izzy ballads from her previous albums, it was easy to picture her as a vulnerable and somewhat exposed youngster - as good as the tracks were - but the emotions of a ballad like this are far removed from that bygone reality. The music itself is full of regret and loss, subdued and subtle in its fantastically packaged beauty, with the ribbon on top being the all-new dulcet tones of a girl who really has grown into her career. In a world where overblown, over-produced pop that gets rather in your face is the norm, Isabel has reigned it all back in and delivered something that can be intensely poetic, dark, sad and wondrously gorgeous at the same time as being simple and suggestive. The theme of her new music is, clearly, maturity, growing up and becoming herself, and this is very much prevalent throughout even this first new single. The theme of sorrow and letting something fly free is another element that flows sensually through the track, giving the listener a gentle nudge in the direction of the new music that is to come from a young singer that has quite sensationally discovered her place in the industry. Release is all about letting go, and that is what we are hearing as Isabel uses her under-rated (until now) talents to let go of her past and move onto the glorious new pastures that await her in the next chapter of her life and her still relatively young pop career.

For the first time, I get the feeling that this is a girl who really believes in what she sings. That's by no means a criticism of what she has achieved to date - not at all - but it feels almost as if this is someone completely removed from the Isabel of days gone by. If you're used to hearing happy pop tracks interspersed with the occasional teen ballad, then it's time to reassess. Isabel Merjos, and I think with this sort of maturity and growth we should all drop the rather innocent "Izzy", has shown the sort of artistic emergence that really will set the cat among the pigeons. Soulful, real and with some of the darker side of her emotions on display for the very first time, this is a girl who is about to command an all new level of respect. And well deserved it would be. With a new EP on the horizon and a new year to banish the innocent bubblegum image we all came to know and love, Isabel Merjos is about to become your new favourite artist, and she's gunning for the very top. Keep an eye cast over your shoulders, legends, there's someone new just joined the race.

4/5 - It would not be a stretch to give this 5/5, but with so much promise of what's to come from her newfound maturity, we've got to allow Isabel space to get even better. For fans of: Britney Spears and Katy Perry


Songwriter Comments
"Release is a song about having that moment where you just let go of the bad in your life and embrace the positivity. Millions of people could say that this year was tough and hard, there were a lot of losses and a lot of tragedies and it's common for people to never get that grieving time they need or really just take a breath and try to relax. It's also the theme for this EP. It's the final breath I'm giving before my album. The common themes you'll find here are a lot of sorrow and timidness, continuing on from my last album. It's the path of not knowing for sure where to go. Nobody has all the answers but we tend to think we do. When that happens, we rely solely on ourselves to fix every little thing and this song is basically saying, 'Hey, you're human. You make mistakes and you always will. You don't have to be perfect or try to seem perfect.' It's I guess, a similar song to Jennifer Armstrong's, 'It's Okay To Not Be Okay'. You do not always have to pretend and sometimes you just need that moment to remember it."




[Verse 1]
Here I go again, the same reflection
Years never seem to wash
All the happiness that I once had
How could I dare complain?

But it's real now, so real now, everything closed with sin
Do I inhale? Do I exhale? A fire raging from within

I lost a part of me
To make room for new memories
No longer holding on to the dream, of us so for once we're both free

[Chorus]
I tried, so hard and all the time
To just carry on with my life
But every time something brings me back
Now I, release your hold on me
We've been all that we could be
My senses tell me that you agree, yeah

Under your spell, you do it well but now it's time for my release
Under your spell, you do it well but now it's time for my release
Locked in this cell, I hid it well but now it's time for my release
Locked in this cell, I hid it well but now it's time for my release

[Verse 2]
Can't live a life like this, I wish I could dismiss
Try to turn back time
Don't wanna think of you, I try to resist
I'll pretend that I'm fine

These tiny feelings, I just can't allow, I don't know where to begin
I paint the smiles on but then I'm not sincere, I just cannot win

I lost a part of me
To make room for new memories
No longer holding on to the dream, of us so for once we're both free

[Chorus]
I tried, so hard and all the time
To just carry on with my life
But every time something brings me back
Now I, release your hold on me
We've been all that we could be
My senses tell me that you agree, yeah

I tried, so hard and all the time (I tried)
To just carry on with my life (My life)
But every time something brings me back
Now I, release your hold on me (Now I)
We've been all that we could be
My senses tell me that you agree, yeah (Ye-eah)

Under your spell, you do it well but now it's time for my release
Under your spell, you do it well but now it's time for my release
Locked in this cell, I hid it well but now it's time for my release
Locked in this cell, I hid it well but now it's time for my release
