LLusion teams up with Salem Ilese for "Yoga"
Producer Llusion has joined forces with rising singer-songwriter Salem Ilese for their new song “Yoga.”
The track was originally spawned following the success of a viral TikTok song. In a statement, Llusion said:
“I made the beat for ‘Yoga’ the summer of 2019 intended for a lofi re-imagination of Big Klit’s ‘Liar,’ an aggressive song trending on TikTok at the time. Giving the song a much more peaceful tone, I felt the most appropriate way to title the track was ‘when someone cuts you off on your way to yoga.’ Due to the popularity of the track, I posted the instrumental titled ‘Yoga.’ Now, fast forward over a year later, I receive a re-birthed version with vocals that salem provided, and this is now easily a song I’m most proud of and a personal favorite off my debut project.”
Ilese, who will release their (L)only Child EP next month, said this about working on the song:
“I came up with the concept for ‘Yoga’ during the first month of quarantine, after attempting the inevitable ‘morning yoga and meditation’ phase. Working with LLusion provided me more zen than any downward dog stretch could’ve.”
“Yoga” is available on all streaming services right now.
