LA’s rising star IYLA announces her much anticipated new body of work, ‘OTHER WAYS TO VENT’ EP – out February 7, and new single and video in the shape of the deeply atmospheric ‘TATTOO TEARS’ – A whirlwind 18-months has seen the young creative win praise from critics and masses alike with her outstanding debut EP ‘WAR + RAINDROPS’; coining her own take on powerful, progressive, soulful R&B, paired with exemplary, other-worldly visuals, transporting viewers into the colorful aesthetic of IYLA’s world.
Speaking on the new visual for ‘TATTOO TEARS‘, she reveals; “In a relationship feelings and expectations are constantly being projected on you by your partner. The visuals being projected on me in this video are a representation that no matter how chaotic it gets, those projections are temporary and ultimately do not define or change who you really are.” The dark, dreamy, monochrome visual sees’ IYLA sing ”I’m a Queen take your crown, throw a King off his throne”, her luxurious R&B vocal gliding effortlessly over the beat.
