Ilja Alexander is an Amsterdam native who has traveled extensively in Japan and Indonesia before settling in the United Kingdom. Electric Light Orchestra, The Libertines, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, The Beach Boys, and Burt Bacharach are among Ilja Alexander’s musical influences. The resulting sound can be compared to The Beatles’, Queen’s, Weyes Blood’s, and Porches’ current stylings.
As he blends retro components with a dream-pop style, the rising musician is a living time capsule of yesteryear’s love ballads. Ilja Alexander combines organic textures with a modern vibrancy, leaving the listener engulfed in a tribute to ‘Nature’ and all of the pleasures it may give.
Ilja Alexander tells us about the title track of the EP: “We breathe and live by all that Nature gives us. We reach her for calmness and peace. The message of this song is to remind everyone how precious Nature is and to restore harmony and balance in today’s world. It’s a song about gratitude and love. This song is also about finding individual harmony and balance, peace of mind. I found inspiration for the songs on this EP while processing some profound childhood traumas. Nature, as well as my previously released single Butterfly, is about self-awakening and guidance.”
