Australian born and bred and now Los Angeles based artist ILUKA is a pop riser. Her new single is entitled "Cry Evil!" and it is the first of the year following the 2023 release of "Haunted One".
With "Cry Evil!", the singer-songwriter writes an important anthem all about the current attacks against women and our fundamental rights. She proclaims, "There is such a concerted attack on women's rights, over the right to be autonomous over our own bodies and incel / far right religious communities are feeling more galvanized to spread hate online." Lyrics including "Eve took a bite of the fruit from the tree / Brought death to the world with a sin so deep / So they lit those fires and they burned us down / What men will do, when they fear our power," show the attack against women and how it has been throughout history. Musically, "Cry Evil!" is a striking blend of raw emotional pop and hard-hitting roots rock that grabs your attention from the first note. Her voice, a mix of smoky depth and dynamic power, delivers lyrics with a visceral authenticity that’s hard to ignore. The song's hook is memorable and her delivery is fiery and fierce.
