Nordic electronic-based and spelling binding musician/director ionnalee is thrilled to announce her newest project Close Your Eyes set for release on June 21st 2024, via TWIMC. The record is set to be released alongside a twin album, Blund, where each of the song's were recorded in the singer's native language - Swedish. With the announce, the songstress is sharing the first taste of the duel project with"innocence of sound." On the new song, ionnalee seizes the pure energy and glory that creativity leaves as a parting gift and sets that power spinning into a breathless shining anthem for the troublesome times
we find ourselves in.
About the Close Your Eyes, ionnalee said, "this album is about how to dream in a dark time and how to be someone like me, an artist who feeds off of that ability for a living. How to get to a state of hopefulness,euphoria, sorrow in a time where the world seems less and less connected to other humans, to nature and to our future. How I find music, when made from the heart, still after working as an artist for 20 years,is a core element in my life. How crooked the view is of music's value when it's sound tracking our daily lives and can get us through the toughest of times."
Recorded in two languages English and Swedish, the record was made with close collaborator Claes Björklund, and sees a return to the electronic textures and analogue sounds that have brought ionnaleea fervent and devoted fan base. Lee reflected, "I recently moved out of Stockholm back to the area where I grew up in Östergötland. I've begun converting this old farmhouse into a studio. Singing in my mother tongue gives my artistry a different angle and that feels really exciting - it's like exploring a new language!"
We last saw ionnalee in 2022, the same week her son was born when she released iamamiwhoami's studio album. iamamiwhoami went on to wow audiences when she toured in Europe and South America,which included a special guest collaboration from Imogen Heap at her Earth show in London.
10 years ago Lee became recognized as a powerful independent force in the music world, pioneering the world of audio and visual with her innovative projects under her solo moniker ionnalee and her iamamiwhoami project, collaborating with artists including Röyksopp, Moby, Imogen Heap, Joe Goddard, TR/ST and Zola Jesus with 100 million Youtube views and six albums later she shows no signs of slowing down. In 2018, Lee's cult-like following co-funded her debut sold-out world tour in just 48hours, breaking records for the fastest funded tour on crowdfunding platforms. Her own label 'To whom it may concern.' also continues to function as a creative platform for herself and collaborators since 2010.
