Alex Isley’s When EP Is Coming—And She’s Talking That Talk

Alex Isley is stepping into spring with a new kind of glow. The GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter has officially announced her upcoming EP, When, due out April 18 via Free Lunch Records and Warner Records. Along with the news, she shared a silky new single, “Ms. Goody Two Shoes,” a dreamy slow-burn that playfully tugs at the line between mystery and bold self-assurance.

Soft and seductive, the track finds Alex leaning into her sensual side while keeping that signature blend of elegance and soul intact. “I ain’t pull those Good&Plenty lyrics out thin air,” she teases on the record, a line that lands somewhere between a wink and a confession. Her vocals float across jazz-tinted piano and gentle acoustic textures, reminding listeners why she’s often called one of R&B’s most quietly influential voices.

This release follows “Hands,” her debut single under Free Lunch Records, and the first peek at the upcoming EP. Both tracks hint at a more intimate chapter for the artist, one rooted in presence and feeling, rather than formula.

If you're still just catching on, Alex Isley has long been R&B’s best kept secret. The daughter of Isley Brothers legend Ernie Isley, she’s never relied on her last name—instead, she’s built her own lane through understated power, introspective writing, and collaborations that stretch from Terrace Martin to Robert Glasper. Now, with When on the way, she’s more than ready to let the moment find her.
