Rising star, iyla is back with her brand-new EP, Appetite For Disaster today via 3T Entertainment/Astra Velum/EMPIRE. The 7-track EP was written by iyla and produced by her longtime collaborator, Kadis. The EP arrives alongside a new music video for “Impala”, directed by Danny Williams, with styling by Brookelyn Styles and Anastasia Larae. Listen to the EP and watch the video now below.
Speaking about the new EP, iyla reveals, “’Appetite For Disaster’ represents my quest for the ‘impossible’ and my unwillingness to settle. This EP was created during one of the most challenging times in my life and its title evokes what the last two years have felt like for me both professionally and personally. Deep within that hunger for what sometimes feels dangerous I keep going back for more, in hopes of feeling satisfied by my art and my place in the world.”
Speaking about “Impala” and the accompanying video, iyla explains, “‘Impala’’s meaning lies within me finding my way back to the city I’m from (and ultimately back to myself) after being entangled in a toxic relationship. I wanted the video to show my unhealthy attachment to the relationship while showing the journey back to myself and the beauty of where I grew up and the not so ‘Clueless’ Valley of Los Angeles.”
Never one to hold back in her visuals, her exemplary, other-worldly music videos are fast becoming an iyla trademark, each one delving deeper into her avant-garde approach to her art and fueled with important messages and the video for “Impala” is certainly no different.
