ILLENIUM gives all of himself to his two solo tracks, “Starfall” and “Drwn.”

Upon commencing the album, the introductory track, “Starfall,” conveys the impression that ILLENIUM is bidding farewell to his original sound before embarking on a new musical direction, which may not be immediately recognizable to his followers. The synths and poignant background vocals that precede the drop instill a distinct sensation of a parting gesture from the ILLENIUM of his past four albums.

“Drwn” serves as a throwback track, highlighting the artist’s creative evolution and growth over the years while acknowledging his musical roots. The track emanates a musical essence that aligns with the distinctive sound and style of ILLENIUM’s 2021 album Fallen Embers. This stylistic parallelism in “Drwn” evokes a sense of nostalgia and introspection in fans, who are reminded of the artist’s previous musical offerings.

The start of the album’s first single, “Shivering,” was played at Ultra Music Festival in 2022, and it was madness!

Now that fans have the full track to enjoy, “Shivering” can be seen as both melodic and emotional, featuring the singer’s vocals from the rising band Spiritbox. With ILLENIUM’s signature drops, the song explores the themes of heartbreak and loss together with a signature production style blending atmospheric pads, soaring synths, and powerful percussion to create a memorable musical experience. This track makes one want to scream, shout the lyrics, and dance to the emotional frenzy ILLENIUM delivers.

Said The Sky and ILLENIUM collide once again for a mouth-dropping track called “Other Side.” Like many of the two artists’ previous collaborations, this tune showcases their signature production styles, with soaring synths and emotional melodies taking center stage. The track’s drop is slower than some of their previous work, allowing the listener to fully immerse themselves in the depth and complexity of the soundscapes. Vera Blue‘s vocal performance adds an extra layer of emotion, bringing to life the lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, and longing for something more.

ILLENIUM notches his music up by giving that punk rock vibe on specific tracks, along with some unique collaborations.

ILLENIUM’s latest musical offerings have a distinctive touch, incorporating throwback punk rock anthems that the artist himself produces. Notable tracks such as “Lifeline” featuring jxdn, “Eyes Wide Shut” with the collaboration of Avril Lavigne and Travis Barker, and “Insanity,” created in partnership with American Teeth, showcase his innovative approach to music production. These newer tracks exhibit a unique blend of ILLENIUM’s signature sound with the nostalgia-inducing punk rock sound many fans may have grown up with, making for an exciting listening experience.

With this release, ILLENIUM has ventured beyond his comfort zone to create a collection of music that showcases the artist’s talent for fusing various musical styles. His collaborations with different artists further highlight ILLENIUM’s ability to connect with musicians from diverse backgrounds and create a unique sound that appeals to a broad audience. His dedication to his craft is evident in every track, resulting in a remarkable album that seamlessly blends different genres and styles.
