Dream-pop musician Ilja Alexander announces the release of ​‘I’ll Wait,’ ​a single of romanticism and hope, a delicate yet hauntingly beautiful single that reinforces his signature dream-pop sound.

Produced by ​Curtis Richardson (Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Joss Stone)​, ​Adien Lewis (Taemin, SHINee, NCT Dream ​and BTS’ single, ​‘Inner Child’ on their latest album​) ​as well as ​Alexander​, mixed by ​Matt Wiggins (U2, Adele, Lorde) and mastered by Randy Merrill (Taylor Swift, Liam Gallagher, Lady Gaga) ​via ​Green Monk Records.

Striking a cheerful tone, ​Ilja Alexander showcases his signature reflective, emotionally invested songcraft with ​‘I’ll Wait’.​ With elements of classic, British rock from the 60’s shining strong, the modern balance is brought to the musicians work with electronic embellishments. While traditional elements of choruses and clapping may be overlooked in contemporary music, ​Ilja Alexander manages to infuse these features with grace and style.

Speaking of the track, British pop princess ​Starling says, ​“The individualism of Ilja’s music is something truly mesmerising. I’ll wait is another beautiful diamond that takes you to hope and peace that it’s safe to be yourself”

The official music video for ​‘Someday’ ​has been featured by the renowned ​CLASH Magazine and ​EARMILK​, while the remix was premiered via ​Pop Dust​. ​Alexander has garnered substantial support in Indonesia including ​Cosmopolitan Magazine, ​CLEO Magazine​, and ​Medium with his previous single shooting to ​#1 on the Ardan radio chart in Indonesia. He has also toured extensively in both ​Japan ​and​ Indonesia.

Originally from Amsterdam, ​Alexander has recently formed a band in London. Although his parents were not musical, his grandfather was a gifted piano player. One day his father was playing ​Beethoven’s Für Elise when ​Alexander took a seat at the piano and began to play it himself. During high school, ​Alexander ​and his siblings were involved in music. He went on an exchange program to Osaka where he discovered that people were interested in his music. It was there that he decided to become a professional singer-songwriter.

Inspired by a wide array of artists and eras, Alexander cites influences from acts such as ​Electric Light Orchestra, The Libertines, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, The Beach Boys ​and Burt Bacharach​. However, his own tapestry of love, life, heartache and hope contains elements of ​Beach House, Porcelain Raft ​and ​The Lightning Seeds.
