  Van Muylem    16 oktober 2024

Home is the centrepiece of ILA’s debut album Ayna. Slow & tense it builds gradually to a thunderous climax while Ilayda’s raw and bluesy voice howls. 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. Enjoy this powerful gem!


The debut album 'Ayna' is available via [PIAS] Recordings Belgium.

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.
