Isabel Pless Brings Emotion and Wit to Her Debut Album “Workhorse”
Emerging artist Isabel Pless makes a striking debut with “Workhorse,” a bold album blending folk, pop, and deeply personal storytelling.
Isabel Pless has a rare gift: the ability to make life’s most ordinary moments feel extraordinary. With her debut album, Workhorse, she does just that—offering a ten-track journey through heartbreak, humor, and self-reflection. Out now, the album is a genre-blending mix of folk, alternative pop, and introspective storytelling, produced and co-written by Ariza.
Pless’ distinct voice and raw lyricism make her one of the most compelling new artists in the indie-folk scene. Workhorse moves effortlessly from soft acoustic ballads to full-throttle anthems, reflecting the full spectrum of human emotions.
“‘Workhorse’ is the debut album I’ve been dreaming about since I started writing songs in middle school and that makes me feel incredibly fulfilled,” says Pless. “Creating these songs helped give me perspective on my life. I feel simultaneously nervous and hopeful that now this album will make its way into other people’s lives.”
From the self-examining honesty of “Isabel” to the brooding tension of “The Bite”, each track feels distinct, yet part of a larger story. “Blonde” is an electrifying, rebellious pop-rock track, while the title track leaves listeners contemplating personal growth and uncertainty.
With Workhorse, Isabel Pless establishes herself as an artist to watch—offering a brilliantly crafted album that speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost, hopeful, or simply human. Stream it now and experience the journey.
