A striking alternative gem that reminds us that there’s no limit to love when it comes to our family.
French-Congolese musical artist Claudia Isaki refuses to squeeze her music into one box. Her distinctive style pulls from UK rock, French chanson, R&B, and Congolese rumba, creating songs with an intimate, emotionally rich sound. With her upcoming album, Everywhere You Go, There You Are, arriving October 16, she offers another glimpse of that world through “San Francisco.”
Claudia Isaki’s latest drop is the alternative single “San Francisco” and its accompanying lyric video. On Instagram, the singer said, “I drove through California with my family a few years ago, and it’s one of the memories I like to go back to when I think about my siblings. I try not to be too nostalgic cause life has shown me many times that the best is always yet to come, but this is music for the moments you thought to yourself, ‘ah, so this is what life is about.”
Serving up a radiant, genre-blending combination of soothing, feel-good instrumentals and vibrant beats, “San Francisco” creates a delightful, uplifting backdrop that shines brightly. Lyrics like “20 years on / With some highs and lows / You make me smile / Make it easy to feel your love” deliver a heartfelt reflection that celebrates an unbreakable sibling bond.
Offering a wonderfully intimate, dreamy backdrop, “San Francisco” beautifully blends ear-pleasing elements of rock and R&B with soft, soulful vocals and the artist’s captivating, raw storytelling. Delivering a truly irresistible sound, Claudia Isaki gifts us with a striking alternative gem that reminds us that there’s no limit to love when it comes to our family. So press play and take a trip to the West Coast with “San Francisco.”
