Welcome to the world of cinematic pop! The 20-year-old violinist has thrown her hand into the world of pop music with “Strip Away.”
“I wrote ‘Strip Away’ at 3 a.m., while pacing around my bedroom, trying to figure out how to bring classical and pop music together,” explains Isolde.
“I wanted to show what I had learned playing classical violin for 15 years. I was also having some depression. Some past traumatic experiences and being isolated during the pandemic really affected how I interacted with people. I felt like I couldn’t trust anyone. I felt scared. I felt lonely. After I finished writing the song, I felt so much better and much more positive. I started to see the world, people, and my surroundings in a different light.”
Fair gained popularity in 2016 after Presidential ncandidate Hilary Clinton took to Twitter to praise the artist’s composition based off of the candidate’s concession speech. The song was a class project titled “To All The Little Girls,” and earned Isolde and her classmates a feature in the New York Times.
Based in the Los Angeles area, Isolde continues to hone her craft – a pleasing amalgam of classical and pop music. She consistently showcases her well-balanced sense of self awareness, stunning vocal chops, and impressive songwriting prowess.
“I want to spread art anywhere I can,” she says. “It’s my way of communicating to people. I enjoy it so much and want to do it for the rest of my life. But again, God has a plan and I’m eager to see where he takes me on this incredible journey called life.”
