iLLu, a DTM unit formed by a singer-songwriter, a Vocaloid producer, and a bandman, releases their new track "LE9".
Centered around the elusive theme of breaking free from gravity, the song delves into inescapable self-loathing and emotions too complex to put into words.
A steady, almost detached beat reflects a present moment weighed down by inner conflict, while vocalist Tsukihi's sharpened, transparent voice quietly brings hidden impulses to the surface.
Incorporating experimental elements like tongue clicks and noise textures for the first time in iLLu's history, the track creates a unique tension and subtle drive.
This is a song that doesn't just express pain-it quietly, resolutely launches it into the sky.
Beyond the haze of an uncertain night, maybe-just maybe-we can still learn to fly.
