ISQ

The Silence is Deafening is my most personal album yet. Recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, its eight songs bring together alternative pop, noir jazz and electronic textures, exploring womanhood, belonging, loss and resilience.

Inspired by my late mother and the women whose stories we carry, it’s an album about finding your voice, listening closely and recognising the things that connect us.

The beautiful artwork is by Tamara Ablameiko, whose collages have given these songs a visual world of their own.

To everyone who pre-ordered, came to a gig, shared a song or sent a few encouraging words: thank you. Your support has helped bring this album into the world, and I’m so happy it’s finally yours to hear.

Discover my new album on signed CD and 12-inch BioVinyl, made using recycled waste cooking oil—and my first-ever vinyl release!

There’s also a 100% organic cotton unisex T-shirt and an A5 Eco Notebook, featuring Tamara Ablameiko’s beautiful collage artwork. A little space for lyrics, lists and thoughts that won’t sit still.

Every purchase directly supports my music and helps me keep creating. Thank you for being part of it.

Recorded at Crescent Records on a rainy November day, this session holds a special place in my heart. It was one of those wonderfully creative days in the studio when everything seemed to click — the music, the people, the atmosphere.

Looking back, I really feel it marked the beginning of a new chapter for me musically, and you can hear some of the sounds and textures that would go on to shape The Silence is Deafening.

I hope you enjoy this live studio performance of Faded. Irene x

For over two decades, I've been writing, recording and performing original music that sits somewhere between jazz, alternative pop and electronic textures. Through ISQ, I work with a band of exceptional musicians to create songs that blur genres, tell stories and invite listeners into a rich emotional landscape. I hope you'll join me. Irene x

This is where I delve deeper into the important things that I don't share on social media: life as a jazz vocalist, songwriting rabbit holes, behind-the-scenes moments, and the occasional funny (?!) musical rant. If you'd like these stories delivered straight to your inbox, I'd love for you to join my inner circle of supporters.
