“Round and Round” by Izzi Stone

I don’t remember exactly how I found this song. Probably a late-night scroll, chasing something new. But “Round and Round” by Izzi Stone hit me right in that sweet spot between upbeat and oddly nostalgic.

It starts off with this bouncy, almost cheeky rhythm that feels like it’s inviting you in for something fun. But there’s a depth to it too. The production is tight, yeah, but not in that sterile, over processed way. It breathes. There’s a looseness in the groove that reminds me a bit of old-school jazz-pop blends, but it’s very much its own thing. You get hints of indie brightness, little syncopated flares, and these unexpected melodic turns that keep it interesting without trying too hard.

What caught me most, though, was the feel of the track. It’s playful, but there’s a pulse of tension running under it. Like dancing through some kind of emotional fog. Not heavy, but familiar. The lyrics play into that perfectly. Simple at first listen, but after a few plays, you realize they’re looping around a feeling we’ve all had. Going through the motions, second-guessing, maybe chasing something that keeps slipping just out of reach.

Izzi’s voice is warm, clear, and a little mischievous. There’s confidence in it, but also this flicker of vulnerability. Like someone who’s learned to laugh through the chaos. And honestly? That balance is what makes the whole thing stick. It feels real.

I’ve had “Round and Round” on in the background while cooking, walking, cleaning. Just doing life stuff. And every time it comes on, it adds this little lift. Nothing forced. Just good energy, a little offbeat charm, and a rhythm that keeps your foot tapping even after it fades out.

So yeah. Give it a listen. Then maybe another. It kind of sneaks up on you.
