Having established herself as a promising emerging artist last year, ilayda continues to showcase her talent after supporting artists such as Mimi Webb, Upsahl, Zeck, and Marie Bothmer, along with numerous performances at renowned festivals like the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg. Following the unveiling of her debut EP, "shades," in 2022, ilayda has released singles like the melancholic piano-heartbreak song "Retail Therapy," the synth-vibe track "How Do U Sleep?" and her latest releases, "Velvet” and “Tired Of Trying”. Embarking on the new year, ilayda presents "Tired Of Trying" – a dramatic pop ballad characterized by an uplifting sound and a driving chorus, providing a surprising contrast to its theme. She narrates the story of a relationship reaching its obvious breaking point, where you find yourself in the cycle of making heartfelt statements, accusations, apologies and retracting them, adding another layer to her repertoire of emotionally charged songs.
