Isabel LaRosa fans can rejoice because the alt-pop sensation, after a year of teasing everyone on social media, has finally released "Muse." The single is a powerful sign of the singer's evolution as an artist. She captivatingly blends dark, moody lyricism with whimsy and infectious sonics, creating a tantalizing experience that leaves listeners wanting more.

"Muse" starts strong by showcasing her signature blend of dreamy, breathy vocal melodies and moody instrumentation. Rich guitar riffs seep into the mix, giving the production an alt-rock flavor that complements her almost otherworldly sound. In the verses, she explores themes of admiration and infatuation, with LaRosa's powerful vocals weaving a tale of self-expression and confidence. On the hook, she offers herself up to her lover, proclaiming that she wants to be their muse, promising to be theirs as long as they equally belong to her. Stellar guitar solos add to the overwhelming euphoria, luring listeners deeper into the dark waters of her siren song.

“I’m so excited for everyone to finally hear ‘Muse.’ This song holds a special place in my heart, and I wanted to share it with my fans as a heartfelt thank you for all their love and support this year,” LaRosa shared. “I can’t wait to see my European fans next week—we have so many exciting things planned!”

"Muse" follows the success of LaRosa's previously released singles “Pretty Boy” and “favorite,” which has resulted in her accumulating over 1 billion career streams to date across platforms. With no signs of slowing down, LaRosa is poised to solidify herself as a rising unstoppable star. Most recently, she made her red-carpet debut at the VMA’s, performed her first arena show at Audacy’s “We Can Survive." She's set to hit the road for her sold-out international 'Heaven Doesn’t Wait Tour,' starting October 21, and will close out the year with show-stopping Jingle Ball performances.
