The Voice Of New Age Pop Speaks Out
"The most exciting thing to come from Mount Olympus since the muses"
Super Super Magazine 'Song of The Day' on PopJustice!
- Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) June 24, 2013 - Don't assume that because alternative electronic chart topping Greek chanteuse Ilia Darlin's C.V. (resume for USA) reads "Classically Trained at the National Music Conservatory of Athens" that she sing delicate harmonies over the strings of the Greek National Symphony.
Quite the opposite is true in fact. Radical and self-made, Maria Callas and Chase and Status inspired, Ilia Darlin boasts a rebellious yet sultry voice that is a fair match to the dub heavy and rave influenced beats that she gracefully belts over.
Ilia's debut EP 'We Do What We Like' does exactly as it says on the label; her cosmopolitan mélange of music, fashion and art are a powerful voice representing the outspoken youth of the 21st Century; from the favelas of Brazil, to the warehouse parties of London and hedonistic parties under the Parthenon, Ilia has seen and lived it all. Her heavy bass and electronic sound references elements of 90's British rave music, and is further infused with her melodic yet powerful vocals. 'Wake Me Up' is an anthem of liberation, representing the "kids of chaos", as Ilia calls them.
Go-to references for Ilia include Harmony Korine, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Rebekah del Rio, Orbital, Underworld and a never ending list of artistic mavericks.

In an effort to remain honest and true to her vision, Ilia's chopped and screwed videos such as 'Wake Me Up' and the soon to be released 'We Do What We Like', are all shot, edited and produced by the Grecian herself. What's more, her untamed beauty cannot help but persist throughout the vignettes.
Ilia Darlin represents the new age of global music and fashion by presenting these undiscovered integrities to mainstream culture. To prove it, London's underground culture magazine Super Super featured her on their cover, and Europe's most established pop blog, PopJustice appointed her 'Song Of The Day'. The Grecian singer has also been featured in numerous magazines such as Vogue Hellas, Marie Claire, Esquire, Front Magazine, Maxim, and has given notable performances including singing at the MTV UK Christmas Concert and at Greece's 'Fashion Rocks', two years in a row.
Ilia has collaborated with world-renowned producers, songwriters and labels such as Billy Mann (Robyn, Cher) and Konvict Muzik (co-owned by Akon) and Universal Records.
Darlin's reassuringly transparent image and soothingly ecstatic sound evoke images of your past self, dancing naked in a field, and make you want to do it all over again
