PREVIEW: Ishani supports suicide prevention month

Ray A-J August 28, 2018

Indian trip-hop singer Ishani releases her latest track Dark Angel.

IN SUPPORT of suicide prevention month, Indian singer Ishani releases her latest single Dark Angel on September 24.

As a follow-up to her previous track Insomnia, the dark trip-hop song aims to raise awareness of suicide prevention month, and explores the topic of suicide.

About the release, Ishani says:This song was pure therapy. It has helped me cope with the death of two of my friends, both of which turned my whole world upside down. I hope this song can help others. So many people are affected by suicide, whether it is the death of someone close to us or an idol.”

Co-produced by South West London composer and producer Zaflon, the track comes as a precursor to Ishani’s upcoming debut E.P Stormy Emotions, which is set to be released later this month.

Hailing from Bangalore, Ishani was first introduced to UK audiences following the release of her debut track Pelican Elephant, which gained airplay on MTV India, and saw her chosen as a BBC introducing artist, in 2014.

Since then, her second single Don’t Stop the Fight enjoyed further mainstream success and was showcased on American TV channel VH1. She went on to perform at Budapest’s Sziget Festival, and support the Icelandic electronic group GusGus at Be My Lake Festival.
