The little things feel bigger when you put them in a song—suddenly, they matter. Nashville-based singer-songwriter Isabel Pless makes the mundane feel massive with her debut album Workhorse, out today. Across ten tracks, Pless blends mellow folk with electrifying pop, tackling themes of self-worth, heartbreak, and uncertainty with humor and poetic vulnerability. Closing the album on an unsettling yet powerful note, the title track leaves listeners pondering the weight of complacency with the haunting line:
I'm worried this is the best version of me.
Pless shares:
This is the debut album I’ve been dreaming about since I started writing songs in middle school. Creating these songs helped me make sense of my life, and now I hope they do the same for others.

Produced and co-written by Ariza, Workhorse thrives on its versatility. Each track unveils a new layer of raw introspection, from the self-reflective opener Isabel, a candid plea for self-acceptance, to The Bite, a spellbinding clash of anger and anxiety. Blonde erupts into a headbanging, electric-guitar-fueled anthem, proving Pless can deliver both stripped-down sincerity and explosive energy. Pless also shares the official video for I Joined A Cult, a quirky, darkly humorous take on toxic relationships and blind devotion.
