Your Time Has Passed you know your time has passed you’ve barely made it last won’t you get up and do something with yourself Take a pill, let it fill up your nothingness Now you’re all grown up you have filled your cup with the days passing by, settling in round the eyes and you’re left with your past when tomorrow runs dry take one big breath dive in and let - the sea of your tears pull you down to your core swept away with the waves lead you safely to shore. swept away as the waves lead you safely to shore.

about

Sabotage was created in the heart of Tel Aviv, the album includes ILLAY's inner circle of professional musicians who all joined forces to produce the album in a makeshift studio within only a month's time. The result is an engaging mix of melodies sung in English, Hebrew and French, and shaped by Eastern and Western influences that include classical, contemporary, and electronic music. It is full of ethereal and soulful lyrics set to rhythms that
embrace pop music, Middle-Eastern disco, West African beats, and much more. All this leads to a creative debut that strikes an interesting balance that is both delicate and powerful, much like the performer herself. ILLAY reveals a collection of new music with soul and grit.

“In [Illay’s] complex compositions and forthright lyrics,
she unfolds a parallel world in which one can laugh
without forgetting to weep - and vice versa.”
~ TAZ Magazine, Germany

ILLAY has an energetic personality and innovative style and is originally from Tel Aviv. She is based in Berlin since 2013. Her multi-cultural upbringing by a Libyan-Jewish mother and an Australian-German father helped shape her appreciation for a variety of music. After discovering her love of the cello as child, she continued to experiment with her musical style, incorporating different genres and an ever-widening range of instruments.
