She sits across from me wearing a jean jacket, summery magenta dress, and a gold necklace that reads \u201cbissou,\u201d and only orders a passionately red raspberry iced tea. She sparingly sips her drink as she describes the music she writes\u2014crystalline, diaristic songs she\u2019s dubbed as \u201chealing girl pop.\u201d Which, from her perspective, is a reframing of the sad girl pop genre led by Billie Eilish, Gracie Abrams, and Olivia Rodrigo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few years ago, Kensington had a brush with TikTok virality after posting a cover of Daisy the Great\u2019s \u201cThe Record Player Song.\u201d Since then, she\u2019s grown her TikTok following to over a million by turning her page into a safe, healing space that showcases her cherubic tones: \u201cI do panning videos that are more centered and targeted towards the neurodivergent community.\u201d Across her profile, there are covers of Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa, and Charli XCX. If you have headphones on or turn your phone sideways, you can hear her silvery vocals oscillate as if they\u2019re bouncing off the walls. It\u2019s called 8D audio, which stimulates both the right and left side of the brain. The bilateral stimulation can create a sense of balance, a clearheadedness, relaxation, or mental focus.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2024\/09\/isabella-kensington-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to continue reading at SPIN<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from SPIN Utilizing the Power of Neuroscience, Isabella Kensington May Have Cracked the Code Between Music and Healing We spent some time in the rising singer\u2019s NYC\u2019s East Village neighborhood to learn more about the science behind 8D audio and her siren-esque \u201chealing girl pop\u201d Written by\u00a0Margaret Farrell Isabella Kensington appreciates the science of a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-culture-art"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13467\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
