Emerging act IIeo delivers brutally honest debut EP am i making sense? Made up of crunchy guitars and infectious melodies with a solid balance of happiness and sadness amidst the singer’s journey through her mind from the highest highs to the lowest lows.
With shimmering guitars lending a mix of nostalgia to haunting feel that teases out vulnerability and loneliness, the six-track collection is an intimate exploration of the struggles that come with having bipolar, and the feeling of disconnection from the world that comes with it.
Despite having a very personal core, the messages within the EP is relatable to anyone listening, with comforting lyrics and a soothing sonic touch calming down the outward layers of frantic genre-hopping.
Moving through alt-rock and indie pop to hyper-pop, Ileo manages to be assertive yet gentle in this emotionally and sonically layered body of work can be described as a “catchy conversation starter,” that sees the ever-evolving talent cut through the noise of her mind to connect with anyone listening through a powerful combination of enjoyable music along with deep meanings.
