“A dazzling art-pop rendezvous brimming with glitz, grime, and neon-hued experimentalism” Billboard
"a glitchy expression of sordid fantasies" i-D

“a cheeky, modern spin on old school reggaeton” Resident Advisor
(December 6, 2023) - Honduran artist Isabella Lovestory shares her new single "Fuetazo," featuring Puerto Rican rapper Villano Antillano. Alongside the single, Isabella is also unveiling the track's official music video that she conceived herself and co-directed alongside JMP (Freddie Gibbs, Pusha T, Destroy Lonely). A trailblazer in her own right at the forefront of alternative Latin music, Isabella joins forces with Villano Antillano, who was most recently praised by NPR as "one of the most exciting voices in Latin trap and reggaeton right now" to deliver a dominant and assertive anthem that puts the two artists' striking personalities front and center.
The Honduran artist wrapped her Laticonica tour this summer following a run of live shows at SXSW in Austin. With support from Kamixlo, her headlining tour started in San Diego and made stops in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Toronto before heading to Europe for Primavera Sound festival plays in Barcelona, Madrid, and Porto. In Madrid, she met Villano where the two went to the studio after playing a show together and wrote "Fuetazo" in one night. The quick meeting and fleeting moment was encapsulated in the word "Fuetazo" which translates to a quick, but strong punch.
"Fuetazo" is a song about the celebration of freedom. A bad bitch anthem, it's anti-romantic as two latinx LGBTQ icons come together in this experimental perreo, abrasive yet elegant and indestructible as their bold personalities. Villano Antillano (Aries) and Isabella Lovestory (Saggitarius) unite as mermaids to celebrate their strength and spontaneity. Sonically, combining Kamixlo and Dinamarca's production, it's industrial, spacious and dynamic, with a dark atmosphere that serves as a perfect backgrop for Isabella and Villano's luscious vocals. Lyrically, it talks about making hits, making moves and being fearless.
Laced with the sensuality and femme candor that has been associated with her discography, Isabella builds on the unapologetic prose of her critically acclaimed debut album Amor Hardcore, providing us a glimpse of what Isabella has to share with the world on more new music to come next year.
Isabella's 2022 debut album Amor Hardcore was a poignant personal statement declaring her intent to exist in a pop fantasy world all her own, devoid of genre or language barriers. The album earned critical acclaim from the likes of Billboard, Interview Magazine, Resident Advisor, and Pitchfork, who described the album as "a defiant celebration of sexual agency." The album highlights a chorus of some of underground Latin music's distinctive voices with features from perreo institution Ms. Nina, BX drill-dembow hybrid Chucky73, and upstarts MethMath and SixSex, along with productions for a bigger stage from longtime collaborator Chicken, Nick León, Kamixlo and others. The album includes previously-released singles "Exibisionista," "Cherry Bomb," "Fashion Freak" and "Sexo Amor Dinero."
