Washington D.C. provides an interesting backdrop for an artist like L’ILLON. With a shaky economy, high unemployment and an ongoing debate over healthcare raging on, the entire country is turning to the Nation’s Capitol for relief. While Congress may not have a solution, L’ILLON may at least have the perfect panacea. Having been reared in classical music many expected L’ILLON to pursue a career in that vein but the electronic thump of pop music set her on a course that even she couldn’t have imagined – a course that led to finding her own sound characterized by a culmination of musical textures set to a pulsating rhythm – A sound she has branded as LUCID POP. On her debut CD ‘WARRIOR ANGEL’, L’ILLON is no mere anonymous disco diva cooing romantic disillusionment over benign synth riffs. Instead she is a hauntingly sensual vocalist capable of switching from buoyant to serene in a moments notice. At the heart of this vibrant musical soundscape is a message according to L’ILLON. “What I’m creating now is not just for the now but for the future too. LUCID POP is the sound that breaks the barriers of cultural imposition and we’re in an era that is just right for LUCID POP because we need to feel empowered. We are faced with so many crises from financial to healthcare to environmental and we all need to feel empowered and feel good about ourselves. In a way, it’s like embarking on a new music revolution but all in the sense of being positive. It’s a mélange of sound that people from any culture can relate to. As an artist, this is what I am trying to create. I’m not trying to appeal to one specific person but to everyone.” (READ MORE)
