Isaac Dunbar, Beep Beep Repeat (EP) [📷: RCA]“Apartment A / I want love, no ricochet / Outside my door / Yeah, Apartment A.” Ooh-wee! “Apartment A” is the opener from Beep Beep Repeat (EP). The talented, underrated Isaac Dunbar has dropped another bop. Even though the Gen-Z musician just turned 21 after releasing “Apartment A” as a single, he’s been active in the music industry since his early teens. Dunbar penned this colorful song with Cary Singer, Matias Mora, and Sizzy Rocket.  He also produced it with Mora and Singer.

From the get-go, “Apartment A” is groovy as albeit.  This is an energetic, fun, and youthful song. Refreshing, “Apartment A” also recalls the past with funky disco cues.  The instrumental accompaniment is the bomb diggity.  Dunbar delivers electrifying, personality-filled vocals. This young king slays! The lyrics are a blast. “In Apartment A we found our fame / Taking Polaroid pictures, everybody in frame,” he sings expressively in the first verse.  In the second verse, ‘they’ enjoy brunch:

“We woke up at 12:30 and went to the kitchen

He sat on the counter, and I made eggs and bacon

Something about this place is high vibration

Like new religion.”

Also, more people need to ‘get hip’ to the talented, alt-pop force that is Isaac Dunbar.
