With recurring themes of sorrow, isolation and grief, this song is a deep exploration of an internal world. The singer says – “it’s for all the people who haven’t quite found their place in the world yet and are starting to wonder if they ever will – trust me, I’m right there with you. The song is basically a diary entry full of existential questions that nobody can answer for me, but I needed to ask them anyway.”

The coming of age narrative in ‘Peaked in High School’ allows us a glimpse of wisdom beyond her years, taking her raw emotions and life experiences and transforming them into a deeply personal, meaningful song. Speaking on the process after the loss of her dad, Isabel shares “This song gave me a chance to bare those emotions and get everything out in the open. It’s not an especially uplifting song, but it’s one that I think lots of people will be able to connect with and I hope it gives them comfort knowing they’re not the only ones wondering whether everything is going to work out for them.”

Having worked previously with renowned producer Xavier Dunn (GRAACE, Jack River) on her debut single ‘Sunburn’ and Konstantin Kersting (Tones & I, Mallrat) on ‘Allergy Season.’ She has been met with industry praise including a range of editorial playlisting, an impressive amount of streams, triple j premieres, rave Unearthed reviews, with Declan Byrne noting ‘Run & Hide’ was “another impressive, sweet, pop track from isabel which sees you get caught up in her storytelling, picturing every moment she describes”.

Brisbane / Turrbal and Jagera Land based Isabel Wood wears her heart on her sleeve, gaining a reputation for her melodic vocal style and thoughtful lyrical themes. For this versatile and ambitious pop artist, prevailing success is not far off from her future.
