Australian-born, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Iluka shares her brand new single Crucify Me, a confident, powerful anthem where she confronts the brutality of girlhood and the relentless scrutiny placed on women, particularly those in the spotlight.
I am loving how powerful and confident her rich vocals are, soaring passionately over the captivating alt-pop production and sharing a raw reflection on how femininity is policed, punished, and endlessly picked apart. This relatable narrative is flawlessly conveyed through her powerful vocals and soul-baring lyricism that creates both a vulnerable and defiant atmosphere. Accompanying her vocals we have echoing backing vocals nicely intertwined with punchy beats, lush rhythms and rich electronic textures that come together to create a haunting and powerful anthem! Check it out below!
I started writing this song after getting picked apart online and realising how much strangers build their own version of you. The moment you step outside that projection, even fans can turn on you. It was so surreal to watch it happen in real time.
