"A fascinating artist." - The Republican, (write-up about Isabel Marcheselli's music and verse) - The Republican Newspaper
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.

Bio
Welcome to my Sonicbids EPK!
I'm a singer-songwriter originally from New York and now based in western Massachusetts. Emerging out of the pandemic and a subsequent period of recording music, I am ready to do more shows as a solo artist and as a band entity.
My band, Isabel and The Whispers, consists of myself on vocal, guitar, and piano, plus a drummer and additional percussionist. Our repertoire consists of ambient, lyrical and original singer-songwriterly pop with some upbeat, jazzy covers thrown in. Some of my more popular songs are "Josefina," "Wander," "Dot to Dot," and my whimsical song with rhythm and groove, "My Imaginary Friend."Thanks to the generous support of fans and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, I am excited to have a growing number of musical releases out on Spotify (with much more on the way) that feature my original music, new music, and even arrangements of my compositions.
Recently, one of my original songs, “Wander,” was featured for 2 ½ minutes in the climax and opening credits of a 2023 SONY top prize-winning documentary, IN COD WE TRUST, about the challenges in the fishing industry in Gloucester. Also, one of my new releases, "Josefina (Jazz Arrangement)" is a winsome jazz track making its way around jazz-loving circles from New York to Japan.
Whether performing solo or with my band, my mission is to touch and impact the world through the power and magic of music. Visit: https://isabelmarcheselli.com/
