Isabel Rumble Unveils New Single Better Half of Me Ahead of Upcoming Album and National Tour

Tasmanian singer-songwriter Isabel Rumble has released her stirring new single Better Half of Me, offering listeners an intimate glimpse into her forthcoming album Hold Everything Lightly, due out on October 24.

The track finds Rumble reflecting on the gentle ending of a relationship, pairing hushed acoustic guitar with her warm, soul-soothing vocals. Rather than linger in loss, Better Half of Me moves with quiet resilience, acknowledging that love’s presence can continue to shape us even after it fades. The song carries a sense of comfort and stillness, cementing Rumble’s reputation for crafting deeply personal yet universally resonant folk music.

Better Half of Me follows on from her earlier single Soften, which earned praise from ABC Country, Apple Music playlists and online tastemakers all over. With this release, Rumble continues to carve out her place as one of Australia’s most captivating emerging voices, known for her ability to capture vulnerability with effortless grace.

To celebrate the album’s arrival, Isabel Rumble will embark on a national tour throughout October and November, bringing her tender new collection to stages across New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, the ACT, and Queensland.

Better Half of Me is streaming everywhere now.
