After wrapping up 2018 with a rich collection of fan favorite live material, Illenium started his 2019 discography with “Crashing”, an electro-pop release which featured Bahari’s sentimental vocals.

80/100 Released six months ago, Illenium’s “Awake” was definitely a highlight of last year, (with thousands of people considering it a milestone of melodic bass music).
