Influenced by Zero 7, Sade, Portishead, Massive Attack. Raised between the granite coast of Cornwall and the shores of the Seychelles, Isla Umbra’s music is born from a life of dualities. She writes her smoky, atmospheric songs in a Bristol flat while her partner, a marine biologist named Leo, is away on research trips studying the very oceans that she uses as her primary metaphor. These are late-night lullabies about love, distance, and the quiet tension of waiting for someone to come back to shore.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The orange glow from the Metrolink sign
Paints a line across the duvet at 04:19
The hum of the mini-fridge, a steady D-flat
And a single magpie on the wet tarmac

[Chorus]
And I see it all now
(ooh, the way you said)
Yeah, I see it all now
Like you told me I would

[Verse 2]
A low thrum from the vent, like the geckos in Mahé
You said 'listen to the quiet bits, that's where the songs play'
The taste of chlorine from the tap still on my tongue
A city breathing out before the sun has come

[Chorus]
And I see it all now
(ooh, the way you said)
Yeah, I see it all now
Like you told me I would

[Bridge]
The condensation line here on the glass
A new salt line for the morning to pass

(Song fades to silence for 4 seconds)

[Coda]
Still warm, this cup.
