Isabella Lovestory has announced a new album: Vanity, the follow-up to the Honduran experimental pop artist’s Amor Hardcore, is out June 27 via Giant Music. The 13-track effort will include “Puchica,” “Putita Boutique,” “Telenovela,” and a new Chicken-produced song called “Gorgeous.” Watch the video for the new single below.

Jim Alexander directed the new music video for “Gorgeous.” In a statement about the visual, Isabella Lovestory explained, “I wanted the video to feel timeless and elegant, not tied to any specific aesthetic. What does being gorgeous even mean? To me it might mean a dusty car garage, a stray cat, or hot pink acrylics. Tarkovsky vibes.”
Discussing her new album, the musician stated, “Vanity has a metallic analog vibe: a robotic funeral. Ghost in the Shell mixed with a poppy ultra-feminine sound. Shiny yet rusty, fancy yet trashy, like ancient encrusted diamonds.” She continued, “Thematically, this album explores fragility, how easily a mirror shatters, but it also explores the indestructible and eternal essence of beauty. I don’t mind when things break, I like to collect the pieces and create something new.”
