ISON is the debut studio album by Iranian-Dutch singer Sevdaliza. It was released on 26 April 2017 by Twisted Elegance. The album is named after Comet ISON, a sungrazing comet. It includes two songs from Sevdaliza's second extended play, Children of Silk (2015), "Amandine Insensible" and "Marilyn Monroe", the latter of which was released as the album's fourth single on 14 April 2017. "Human" was released as the lead single on 17 November 2016, which was followed by "Hero" as the second single on 4 April 2017 and "Hubris" as the third single on 12 April.
According to Sarah Sitkin, who designed the cover art, the cover depicts Sevdaliza as the mother to herself, to her past lives, and to the album's 16 songs. On 21 November 2017, ISON was reissued digitally with the bonus track "Hear My Pain Heal", for which an accompanying music video premiered on the same day.
