Celebrating ten years since its original release, Isabel and The Whispers (with Alec Menge on drums and Octavio Padron on guitar) re-capture the depth and creativity of their single Dot To Dot, and release it complete with a fresh set of visuals crafted in honour of the celebration.

Leading with a simple, piano-led chord progression, and a few additional soundscape details, Dot To Dot keeps the audience focused on the meandering, rising melody of the voice, and the poetic yet deeply personal nature of the lyrics penned by Isabel.

Always the words resolve back to this title, this image, and it becomes a clear calling card or recognisable trait of the song – along with the delicate yet striking nature of Isabel’s voice.

Offering long-form verses that precede the resolve of the hook, Dot To Dot manages to balance minimalism and identity in a memorable way. The lyrics utilise metaphor and beautifully descriptive writing to pay tribute to the love of a significant other – references to constellations, the contours of the face, the power of closeness.

The new video also delivers a series of images aptly relating to intimacy, oneness, and the natural world intermittently, furthering the song’s hypnotic embrace as it moves along.

Pop is all too often big and brash and bold and bombastic. But not always. Sometimes, it can be restrained and understated, chilled and delicate, and the new one from Isbel and The Whispers frontwoman, Isabel Marcheselli, is undoubtedly one of those times.

That said, Your Eyes is still an impactful song, but it builds up its sonic weight through the layering up of various tones and textures rather than big sonic hits and musical sucker punches. And the song is all the better for it.

This piano piece slowly wraps itself with dreamscape hazes and classical grace, a gorgeous understanding of understatement and emotive atmospherics. It is the link between the pop and the classical world, between structure and soundscaping, and between the worldly and the other.

And it proves, if proof were ever needed, that sometimes understatement wins over obviousness, that subtlety is better than shock tactics, and that less definitely is more. Did I say sometimes? Make that every time. - Dancing About Architecture
