Helemaal kwijt was ik hen, terwijl ik ten tijde van Felt enorm grote fan was. Debuutalbum Anya laat wat mij betreft echter een heel ander geluid horen en dat gaat er bij mij niet in. Wel deze ingetogen, donkere en intense single Home. Daar kan ik terug van smullen.
Anya is op 27 april 2024 verschenen via PIAS.

Home is the centrepiece of ILA’s debut album Ayna, which was released in April this year to raving reviews and spawned 3 singles that gathered close to 800 radioplays in Belgium.
Slow & tense, the track builds gradually to a thunderous climax while Ilayda Cicek’s raw and bluesy voice howls.
“Home captures loneliness, vulnerability, and a longing for comfort and escape”, Ilayda explains, “It explores isolation and pain, while holding onto a distant connection. Amid the darkness, there's a hope for healing and renewal, symbolized by the will to live.”
Home proved to be a highlight of the band’s summer festival set and will win over fans on the band’s coming fall tour.
