‘EXTRA FR!ES’ from the Kosovo–Albanian pop princess ILIRA, is our newest favorite record. This song is unique and powerful. ILIRA’s wonderful voice and enjoyable melodies are very inspiring, and her lyrics are both original and catchy. We love the catchy and charming vocal harmonies in this song. ILIRA brings an honest and real talent and emotions to her music and we can’t wait to hear more from her.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Raised in a small Swiss town by Kosovo–Albanian parents, ILIRA struggled to find her place in an environment with clashing cultures. Citing a wide set of musical influences from Nirvana to Rihanna as her first major muses, ILIRA developed a rebellious middle- finger-wagging attitude at a very young age, shaping her into the artist that she is today. ILIRA began cutting her teeth on the live stage in various talent shows on Albanian and Swiss TV, all the while writing songs to beats she had purchased online and posting clips of these songs to Instagram. Flash forward to a move to Berlin, Sony Music Germany snap ILIRA up and she begins penning catchy pop tracks in LA and London. With more music to follow this year, ILIRA is a pop princess no longer in waiting.
