Isabel Rumble returns with ‘Better Half of Me’, a dusky, introspective single that reflects on love’s quiet departure. Out today, it offers a tender preview of her second full-length album Hold Everything Lightly, due October 24, alongside a national tour throughout October and November.

Anchored by soft acoustic guitar and vocals that carry the comfort of a familiar embrace, ‘Better Half of Me’ is a balm for aching hearts. Tender yet grounded, and simple yet layered with emotional depth, every note in ‘Better Half of Me’ carries a quiet weight, unfolding with clarity and an effortless grace.

The song reflects on the quiet ending of a relationship, holding space for both the sadness of letting go and the quiet courage it takes to move forward. Rather than mourn what’s lost, ‘Better Half of Me’ gently honours the passing of a season, embracing the idea that love, even in its absence, can continue to shape and nourish us. While creating this song, Isabel Rumble came to a realisation:

“In the process of writing ‘Better Half of Me’, I realised that real love doesn’t disappear, in fact, its roots can remain entwined beneath our feet and continue to nourish through cycles to come.”
