Ilira – Diablo (Insanity Records/Sony)
Ilira - Diablo
Release Date: Out Now
This is my second experience of
Kosovo-Albanian self-confessed diva Ilira and she doesn’t get any more
forgiving. Ilira’s new single, ‘Diablo’, initially comes on like a Shakira or
Ariana Grande track full of perky little guitar flicks and Latino beats
(presumably inspired by guest artist Juan Magan). However, there’s a underlying
darkness and self-doubt in here that flies directly in the face of the music
which makes this all the more intriguing. Sure, there’s a slight Eurovision
vibe to this but there’s also a sense that this could easily shift huge units
on either side of the Atlantic given the right backing and airplay.
