Izzy Reign‘s new track “Lite-Brite“, which premiered at Outburn Magazine, draws from personal experiences of finding solace in music and colorful lights during tough, isolated times. Blending the nostalgic sound of 90s/early 2000s techno with deep, dark emotions, Reign creates a contrast between uplifting melodies and the hidden pain behind them. The song is a journey through past struggles, offering a message of growth by confronting and working through old wounds, encouraging listeners to acknowledge their pain in order to heal and move forward.

“This song is written from the standpoint of experiences in my own life. Where the only thing that got me through several, tough, isolated situations growing up, was playing music as loud as possible and surrounding myself with beautiful colorful lights. A hyper focus of the two combined helped ignore any of the issues that I did not want to face in that time. My hidden place.
I wanted to bring the same sensation of how my experiences were. Heavily playing with one of the only music styles I listened to at the time, the combination of 90s/ early 2000s techno and also the dark emotion that I kept to myself. Most people may not notice but most EDM songs at the time all carried sad stories but portrayed such innocent and beautiful melodies that made you feel happy, regardless of what the song was actually about, and I really wanted to bring that back into my current music catalog.
Writing this one was definitely an emotional rollercoaster for me. Haha, Forcing myself to re-live and feel sad for my child self, and also incredibly angry for them. It is a lot to take on but important to work through these things to get past them.
I hope that by putting these out in the open, I can encourage people to work through their broken foundations , and be able to grow into the better version of themselves. That it is okay and healthy to acknowledge pain in your past, and that it is necessary in order to move forward.” – Izzy Reign
Izzy Reign has announced her self-titled debut album ‘Izzy Reign‘ is available for pre-order and will be out on March 21, 2025 from FiXT.
Emerging from the shadows and into the spotlight, Izzy Reign has crafted an electrifying collection of tracks that push boundaries into a compelling and emotionally charged sonic experience. This debut record is a culmination of Izzy’s raw power and genre-defying artistry, reflecting personal struggles, societal critiques, and a hauntingly raw beautiful dive into the human psyche. Boundaries will be crossed, genres will be pushed, crushed, and turned inside out. All hail the Queen.
Each track, an artistic blending of metalcore, alternative metal, and hard rock, stands as a testament to her ability to seamlessly merge brutal instrumentals with atmospheric elements, making this album a must-listen for fans of innovative rock and metal. From “Your Entertainer” a concept track tackling the mental toll of fame to “Into Oblivion” inspired by the Egyptian goddess Ammit, this alternative pop-metal track delves into Izzy’s personal struggles with religious-induced OCD and intrusive thoughts. “Pandora’s Box” is a dichotic experience of chaos and introspection drifting between sensual to brutal. “The Sunken Place” is inspired from the psychological horror movie Get out, exploring manipulation and survival instincts through a raging soundscape. The electrifying album manages to capture the essence of various genres while smashing through each and ultimately bending them to her will. No subject is too small, no corner of humanity too dark. ‘Izzy Reign’ is a deep dive into not just her own struggles but humanity’s as well.
Bold. Eclectic. Rebellious. Izzy Reign thrives on originality and thinking outside the box. Her music is nothing short of a reflection of this. She grew up singing to Alanis Morissette, Jewel, and Madonna. Inspired by Enter Shikari’s music video “Sorry You Are Not A Winner” and the musical stylings of Imogen Heap, Izzy took the plunge into the industry and played her first live show when she was 15 years old.
Since then she’s taken a deeper dive into production, songwriting and performing, working with a variety of artists that come through the production house she shares with producers Jon Eberhard (I Prevail, Skillet, Sleeping With Sirens) and Nick Matzkows (Wind Walkers, Until I Wake, ENMY, Attack! Attack!). Over the past four years she has released a myriad of covers, originals and music videos on her YouTube channel racking up millions of views. She has received notable attention for her popular The Nightmare Before Christmas cover of “This Is Halloween”, which has over 10 million streams across Spotify and YouTube along with 73,200 videos using the sound on TikTok.
In 2023 Izzy came to the attention of the US-based record label FiXT, through the discovery of her independent release, “Broken By Design”, which showcased a new edge to Izzy’s sound. Signing on for a multi-album deal, Izzy Reign is now set to release her debut album with FiXT in 2025.
