Isabella Chiarini shares a euphoric Pop single with heart, “Gotta Be” - Interview
Isabella Chiarini is a name you’ll want to remember, and her latest single, “Gotta Be,” cements her place as one of Canada’s most exciting emerging pop artists. With masterful production, introspective songwriting, and a chorus that practically demands to be sung at the top of your lungs, “Gotta Be” is a radiant blend of pop sensibility and emotional depth.
In our above interview with Isabella, she opened up about the inspiration behind “Gotta Be.” For her, the song represents a journey of self-discovery and embracing authenticity, a theme that resonates strongly in both the lyrics and the musicality. Co-written with Teresa Nocita, the track is as much about personal empowerment as it is about connection.
The production on “Gotta Be” is stunningly atmospheric, giving the song an otherworldly glow while maintaining its grounding in pop’s universal appeal. The lush layers of synths and subtle percussion create a spacious, almost cinematic soundscape, perfectly complementing Isabella’s euphoric vocal delivery. Her voice is a revelation—smooth and soaring, full of emotional nuance that pulls you deeper into the song with every note.
And then there’s that chorus. Catchy, uplifting, and endlessly singable, it captures the very essence of modern pop perfection. Whether you’re hearing it for the first time or the fiftieth, the refrain lingers in your mind, a soundtrack for moments when you need a reminder of your own strength.
What sets Isabella apart, though, is her willingness to push boundaries within the pop genre. It balances accessibility with artistry, offering a track that’s as radio-ready as it is introspective. As we discussed what’s next for her, Isabella revealed that “Gotta Be” is just the beginning of a creative surge heading into the new year. She’s collaborating on new music that delves even deeper into personal storytelling. However, we’re quite excited for an acoustic version of this song to drop soon!
Isabella Chiarini’s “Gotta Be” isn’t just a great pop song—it’s a bold declaration of an artist stepping into her own, unafraid to embrace vulnerability and turn it into something extraordinary. With a voice that captures both strength and sensitivity, and a sound that bridges intimacy with grandeur, Chiarini proves she’s not only a star on the rise but a beacon for authenticity in today’s music landscape.
