Isobel Campbell (born on April 27, 1976) is a Scottish singer, cellist and composer in the indie and "Twee pop" genres.
Isobel was a member of the band Belle & Sebastian from their formation in Glasgow in 1996, until 2002, when she departed the band for personal reasons. Isobel played cello with the band, and sang backing vocals. One of her own compositions on which she sang lead, "Is it Wicked Not to Care?", was included on Belle & Sebastian's third album, The Boy with the Arab Strap. She also took lead vocals on other songs with the band, and co-wrote their top-20 U.K. single "Legal Man".
Isobel's band The Gentle Waves released its first album on Jeepster Records, titled The Green Fields of Foreverland, in [1999]]. The second Gentle Waves record, Swansong For You came out one year later. In 2002, she collaborated with Scottish jazz musician Bill Wells on a collection of Billie Holliday songs, released by Creeping Bent.
In 2003 Campbell released Amorino, her first solo album under her own name, to very good reviews. Bill Wells was featured here again, along with other jazz musicians.
Isobel is currently working on two albums to be released in early 2006, with a tour of the U.K. and the United States to follow. She is best known for her single Time is Just the Same.
