English singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Vaughan is at his best on his mediative and self-reflective single 'Isabella', which is about the young artist's internal battle with sexuality and self-acceptance. On the newly released video for 'Isabella' (directed by Matt Dempsey of Masses Collective), he expands on the track's exploration of identity.
