Serbian-born ILIJA shows us that soul knows no bounds and has no limitations in genre with his latest single, "Been Waiting For Tonight." Raised in Belgrade after being born in Pristina, ILIJA's path from classical conservatory to jazz vocals to modern R&B has helped him cultivate a sound that feels both timeless and global.
"Been Waiting For Tonight" runs thick with a rhythm and irresistible energy. ILIJA's voice glides effortlessly between silky falsettos and resplendent lower tones, revealing the depth of someone who has lived many musical lives. His classical cello and operatic singing add emotional refinement, making the track unusually powerful for an R&B song.
The way he combines genres speaks volumes about an artist who uses music to bring cultures closer together. Verse after verse is crafted from the heart, each padded by a chorus of emotional release, as if something has waited for years to be this well expressed. "Been Waiting For Tonight" is simultaneously a personal declaration and a musical celebration. ILIJA is an artist who has returned to his roots and influences with a power of his own.
