Illenium continues build-up to new album with latest single ‘War’: Listen

Having conquered football stadiums with his incredible Trilogy events, Illenium is now preparing to unveil his newest album in a different landscape. Ahead of his upcoming residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, he has shared another single from his next full-length album.

When Illenium first announced his upcoming residency at The Sphere, fans knew they were about to witness a new era from the American producer. Shortly thereafter, he revealed his new album, The Odyssey, to coincide with the run. As the excitement and anticipation build towards both the shows and the album, he has shared the latest single from the project, War. Teaming up with Lø Spirit, the track was initially debuted last month Apocalypse Festival, and clips from the event quickly went viral as fans digested the track. ‘Super grateful to be a part of such a raw song. Being asked to sing this song with ILLENIUM was perfect timing for me. “War” ironically ran parallel with a lot of the chaos I was met with this year. Couldn’t be more excited to make something so visceral with one of the greats in the electronic space,‘ says Lø Spirit.

Odyssey will not be released until February 6th, but the release of War means that fans are able to hear 7 out of the 19 tracks in the collection. The newest release opens with Lø Spirit shouting the chorus refrain, as the production below builds with an edge and grit that is part of Illenium’s arsenal, but generally deployed less often. Speaking to the gritty rock tinge, the producer says, ‘So excited to have my new single “War” with Lø Spirit out now. This one was an instant favorite since the rock edge is something I’ve always loved. It brings a darker, heavier energy that contrasts my other singles and adds a new dimension to the story of Odyssey.’ Contrasted with the more emotionally fragile side of Illenium, it is clear to see why War would have such an impact when played live, as the massive vocals and drop dominate any space.
