Honduran pop star Isabella Lovestory brings the drama with her new single “Telenovela”. Isabella began the year with previous single “Putita Boutique” featuring Argentina’s TAICHU, and a collaboration with PinkPantheress and Shygirl on “True Religion”. “Telenovela” marries old school reggaeton drums with new wave electronic sounds akin to the likes of Depeche Mode. The accompanying music, directed by Charlotte Rutherford, fuses similar visual parallels by juxtaposing the camp of Mexican Telenovelas with the eerie absurdity of David Crongberg cinema.
Over the past two weeks, Isabella has teased her own telenovela style shorts over her social media channel. Isabella has been dropping hints through a series of singles teasing her chameleonic and unabashedly flamboyant sophomore album coming this summer. “Telenovela” adds more fuel to a fiery campaign that began with last summer’s standout singles “Botoxxx”, “VIP” and “Puchica”, and her Plastic Fantasy tour which hit Mexico City, Monterrey, Buenos Aires, Sao Paolo and Chile. Isabella also played a series of summer festival dates in Europe, and closed 2024 with a beloved set at iii Points Festival in Miami, which she documented in a photo diary with Interview Magazine. Announced last week, Isabella will play LadyLand Festival in Brooklyn at Under The K Bridge, joining a lineup that features the likes of FKA Twigs, Cardi B, Pablo Vittar, Eartheater, and more. Fans can also catch her at Barcelona’s Primavera Sound and Paris’ We Love Green Festivals this June.
