Isola is the third studio album by Swedish alternative rock band Kent. It was released on 12 November 1997. It was followed by an English version in 1998, for which a new song, "Velvet", was recorded.
The ending song from the album, "747", became a fan favourite and was usually one of the songs Kent used to close their concerts.
Isola won the "Album of the Year" award at the Swedish Grammy Awards in 1998.
Hayley Williams from Paramore has stated that she is a fan of the band and that her favorite song of them is "Things She Said" from English version of Isola.[1] She has also covered the song several times.[2]
