There is a charmeuse of eardrums, soundscapes, delicate tracks between light and shadow. There is an organic imagination, flashes of light, paradoxes and outbursts of voices. There is a captivating universe where "nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed" by the grace of magical thought.

Using original songs that sound like so many invitations to travel, ilia maps out a world yet to be explored. The girl with the dimple reveals her "sincerities" in backlit stories rich in textures. Author, composer and performer, the young Liégeoise mixes raw climates adorned with roots tones willingly soaked in the heat of the deserts.

There are and there will be tribal mists, nuanced pop-folk oases and the promise of a delicate alchemy to be shared live.

Ilia was in concert on September 26, 2020 as part of the Vitrines Découvertes Francophones of the L'Estival festival in St-Germain-en-Laye.
