Isabel Rumble Unveils Tender New Single ‘Soften’ With Mesmerising Visuals

Rising Australian indie-folk artist Isabel Rumble has returned with her soul-stirring new single, Soften, accompanied by a stunning elemental music video filmed on Thaua Country in Yuin Nation, NSW. Following the critical success of her 2023 debut album Bird Be Brave—which earned a Folk Alliance Australia Award nomination and sparked international tours across Europe and Australia—Rumble continues to carve out her place as one of Australia’s most compelling storytellers.

Soften sees Rumble lean further into her signature vulnerability, weaving soft, intertwining guitar melodies with tender vocals that invite listeners into a deeply personal reflection. The track explores themes of surrender, change, and finding quiet strength in connection to self and ancestry. As it unfolds, subtle keys and understated percussion add texture, allowing the song to bloom with understated power.

The accompanying sepia-toned music video captures Isabel moving gently amidst ancient rock formations, echoing the song’s delicate balance between light and shadow, softness and resilience. Minimalist yet evocative, it reflects the grounding presence of the landscapes that shaped its creation.

With support slots alongside Lior & Domini, Daniel Champagne, and Ireland’s David Keenan, Isabel Rumble is quickly becoming a beloved voice in Australian folk.

Soften is available now everywhere, inviting listeners to embrace stillness and self-acceptance.
