Izzy Mahoubi releases folkloric new single ’70’s Baby’

Today, indie singer-songwriter Izzy Mahoubi releases her new single, ’70’s Baby.’

This new song tells the story of a modern-day Carrie Bradshaw, who found herself dating a man with a shag cut stuck in the 70s. It blends elements of folkloric pop with indie twang captured by producer Brandon Meagher. She drew inspiration from songs such as ‘Gypsy’ by Fleetwood Mac, ‘Kiss Me’ by Sixpence None The Richer, and one of her favorite Phoenix artists, Victoria Bigelow.

“After watching Almost Famous for the 15th time, I was inspired by the unglamorous side of groupies who fall in love too easily with what seems to be musicians stuck in the 70s,” shares Izzy Mahoubi. “Oversharing my insecurities and writing very specific, sometimes embarrassing, moments of my life is my favorite part of songwriting. I wrote ’70’s Baby’ with one of my best friends, Jaid Johnson, and it was one of those effortless writes. I jokingly said, ‘I’m hot, but I’m not Penny Lane,’ which quickly set the tone for this somewhat sarcastic, situationship song.”
