In anticipation of her fourth solo studio album and major-label debut, When The City Sleeps, R&B/soul vocal virtuoso Alex Isley will hit the road for a 14-date U.S. tour, stopping at The Fillmore in Charlotte on May 28.

Isley, the daughter of Ernie Isley of The Isley Brothers, has built a catalog that spans a wide yet cohesive spectrum of R&B, neo-soul, and jazz-inflected music, all tied together by her signature warmth and vocal precision.

Coming off the release of her collaborative album I Left My Heart in Ladera — named after the Ladera Heights neighborhood in Los Angeles — with multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer Terrace Martin, the project delivers a lush, jazz-driven soundscape paired with Isley’s luscious, moody R&B vocals.

While When The City Sleeps marks Isley’s major-label debut following her signing with Warner Records last year, she has collaborated with a wide range of artists and producers across genres, including Robert Glasper, Masego, PJ Morton, 9th Wonder, SiR, Martin, and Jack Dine. She also earned a Grammy Award nomination for “Back to Love” with Glasper in 2024. When The City Sleeps is a 15-track album includes all six songs from her 2025 WHEN EP, along with collaborations featuring Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and producer James Fauntleroy and Syd of The Internet.

Citi cardmembers will have the first opportunity to purchase tickets on Wednesday, March 18 at 10 a.m. with tickets going on sale to the general public on Thursday, March 19 at 10 a.m.
