Fallen Embers July 16th, 2021
Illenium released his last album,
ASCEND, in 2019, and spent most of 2020 and the beginning of this year in the studio finalizing the new album. So far, we’ve gotten five singles from the album “Nightlight,” “Paper Thin,” “Hearts on Fire,” “First Time,” and “Sideways.”
His albums thus far have had 17, 13, and 12 tracks, in order from most recent to oldest, so there’s a good chance we haven’t even heard a third of the album yet. And by the time the album comes out in two months, we will probably have one final single.
Pre-orders/pre-saves for the album aren’t yet available but probably will be soon. You can hear all of these songs when Illenium performs three nights at Red Rocks in October. The show is sold out, so you’ll have to be on the look out for people selling tickets if you want to go.
Red Rocks for three nights over October 7 – 9.
The producer has set himself up for an absolutely massive year, with his forthcoming album
Fallen Embers due out this Summer and several music festival gigs on the books. A headlining run at Red Rocks is icing on the cake and the ultimate Illenium experience coming this year.
Thursday night will treat Illenials to an entire set of fan favorites and throwbacks. Friday and Saturday night sets will likely feature more recent work, including “Sideways,” “Paper Thin,” “Hearts On Fire,” “First Time,” “Nightlight” and more, as new productions come to life like never before at one of the world’s most breathtaking outdoor music venues.
ILLENIUM and
Valerie Broussard is out now.
Standout vocals, euphoric drops and expert level melodics work together in forming this new production, already coveted among ILLENIUM and Nurko supporters alike. Delicate at times, “Sideways” ultimately counters all its softest moments with massive sounds and emotion.
“Sideways” follows “Paper Thin,” “Hearts On Fire,” “First Time,” and “Nightlight” on the trail to ILLENIUM’s forthcoming album
Fallen Embers, due out this Summer. The collaborative track has already made waves as an unreleased gem, so it arrives today as a well received record.
Still to come, ILLENIUM has more upcoming collaborations with
Slander x Krewella and
Illenium has been steadily pumping out singles from his forthcoming album,
Fallen Embers, due out this summer. Following “Paper Thin,” “Hearts On Fire,” “First Time,” and “Nightlight,” the next single will be “Sideways” with Nurko and Valerie Broussard, out this Friday.
Interestingly enough, rather than coming from any of the artists themselves, the news appears to come from YouTube channel Proximity, though the channel’s knowledge and foresight of releases gives us little reason to doubt the release date.
The song has been played out for a little while, especially by Nurko, who you can see play it at one of last year’s drive-in events.
Illenium’s fourth album,
Fallen Embers, is due out this summer, after he revealed the track title and approximate release date last week. In the replies, Excision gave a cheeky ‘eyes’ emoji, signaling another collaboration between the two would be included on the release.
Now, we have our first listen of the track which also features HALIENE. Once again combining the melodic prowess of Illenium and the devastating heaviness of Excision, coupled with HALIENE’s larger than life voice, this is sure to be another fan favorite following their first two collaborations, “Gold (Stupid Love)” and “Feel Something.”
