Izzy Reign Mixes Dance, Electro, Industrial, And Art Pop Into A Satisfying Sonic Cocktail On Self-Titled Debut

It seems we’ve been talking about Izzy Reign a LOT over in RNRF land with many a shared social media post before launching a brand new column last October called “Spooky SZN Sounds” more or less with the sole purpose of covering IR’s slew of covers around the season before culminating with coverage of original […]
