Class A & ISHU

Following the success of her 2010 full-length debut ‘Me, Me, Me & Him: The Secret Life of a Receptionist’, and subsequent Wildside Tour, Class A took a few months off work in favor of some (Fitzroy) poolside reflection, to take stock and recapture inspiration before finally getting back to the business of writing. This artistic evolution sees her approach her craft with a more focused, deliberate hand, and a new writing partner in tow, in local beatsmith ISHU.

ISHU has been captivating local ears and minds since 2008 with his culture-mashing blend of boom-bap, electronic beats and organic soft-pedal funk. His 2010 album ‘A World In Progress’ features some of Australia’s most accomplished lyricists such as Mantra, Koolism’s Hau and Lotek. This record also marked the first collaboration between ISHU and Class A, with the ambling, low-key rumination ‘The Unknown’.

Over a cider and a show together, a deal was struck to collaborate on an EP. The first single lifted from the forthcoming EP is ‘Never’.


Class A & ISHU required a series of promotional photos for the EP, launch and video clip (shot by Dan De Souza). Taken at Class A's house, conceptually the images represent the contrast and combination of both artists.
