Izitso is the tenth studio album by the British singer-songwriter Cat Stevens, released in April 1977. After the lacklustre Numbers, the album proved to be his comeback. The album updated the rhythmic folk rock and pop rock style of his earlier albums with the extensive use of synthesizers[2] and other electronic music instruments, giving the album a more electronic rock and synthpop style, and anticipating elements of electro.[3]
