Dreamy arena-rock tones carve out an instantly emotive realm, as Tori BLK sets the foundation for a uniquely recognizable My Illusion.
Ultimately blending those early electronic tones with a familiar pop-songwriting structure and breathy, expressive indie vocals, My Illusion follows short lines and lower notes towards a passionate rise up for the hook. Along the way, we delve into a story of reflection, heartbreak and resentment, which proves all at once relatable and deeply personal.
Capturing a fine balance between accessible mainstream sounds and catchy riffs and hooks, My Illusion effectively walks the line between the underground and pop – offering both an immersive production route, and a clear sense of character within this boldly-fronted performance.
Elements of classic emo meet with trip-hop progressions and a continuous level of longing that softly screams out on behalf of loss and looking back. It’s a finely-crafted single, from an intriguing artist whom we can hopefully anticipate plenty more music from in the coming months and years.
