Listen to the perfectly crafted, delicate perfection of Illuminate by WILDES.

"'Illuminate' isi a reflection on our human error” explains WILDES, continuing "It's about recognising (or illuminating) the qualities that make us human, but can also lead to our downfall. The song came from the idea that we will do anything - whether it be good or incredibly dangerous - for the people we love and the causes we believe in. 

It was only three months previous that West London’s WILDES uploaded her debut cut “Bare” which has so far caught the attention of tastemaker radio & blogging media, including Disco Naiveté who labelled her “so special.” The 19 year old, known to her friends and family as Ella Walker,  started gigging when she was 15 after being exposed to her father’s extensive guitar collection.  That early exposure, along with inspiration from the works of Oscar Wilde, began shaping what you here today.  Remind yourself of her debut track Bare below:

Illuminate

Song sung from a stalker's perspective (but aren't all love songs stalker songs in a way?)

(Mythology was my trip hop project after Trio Nocturna broke up)


I'm the one who calls
I'm the one you need
when this world has made you cry and bleed
I'm the knife that cuts
i'm the pen that draws
I'm the one who knows everything you saw...
I'm the voice that invades all your dreams
I'm the one you love... or so it seems
I'm the one whose name you can't erase
I fill up every inch of your space

Angeline I love you so
I'm never gonna let you go
I'll follow you 'til the end of time
because someday I'm gonna make you mine

I'm the face in the window
I'm the voice on the phone
I'm  in the car behind you
I just can't leave you alone
Since they told me I can't see you
since they murdered my dreams
I will follow you from shadows
muffling your screams

Angeline...

Since you told me to never call you
as you slammed down the phone
well you know that I had to come here
because I know you're at home

Angeline....
