A glowing mane of curls holding an electric bass, a cello with loop machine or a megaphone. The songs that she writes, on the other hand, are much darker but wrapped in a warm, rich texture of strings, guitars and a drop of electronica that make the medicine go sweetly down. ILLAY sings in Hebrew, English and French in the genre of oriental-indie-pop.
“Sabotage”, her debut album was Created in the heart of Tel Aviv in an apartment turned into a studio within only a month's time. It is full of ethereal and soulful lyrics set to rhythms that embrace pop music, Middle-Eastern disco, West African beats, and much more.
All this leads to a creative debut that strikes an interesting balance that is both delicate and powerful.
