Isles is the first studio album by the American duo Wild Belle. It was released on March 12, 2013, by Columbia Records. The album encompasses many genres, and its title refers to the band's goal of making each song its own "isle" with a distinct musical style.[2]
Style and instrumentation
The album has a relaxed feeling, with rhythmic yet varied beats and a unique blend of reggae, pop, and electronica.[3] Lead vocalist Natalie Bergman sings in a laid-back, breezy voice.[3] She is accompanied primarily by keyboard, drums, and electric guitar. Fellow band member Elliot Bergman sings lead vocals on "When It's Over."
