Showing an atmospheric alt-rock inspiration, “What She Said” is the debut single from Sam Isles, an artist based in Auburn, AL. “Nothing to recount, nothing to explain,” a quivering vocal feeling arises into an expressive call — “nobody knows how it feels…” — as sturdy guitar strums enamor. The “I wish we could back,” sentiments thereafter continue that palpable yearning. “It’s never as good as it seems,” is a hook that echoes a memorable alt-rock nostalgia, building faultlessly from the momentum-filled verses into a satiating enjoyment.
