Once in a while, a new act emerges that creates such a unique sound that you can’t fail to sit up and take notice. An act whose music redefines boundaries, that experiments with different sounds with glorious consequences. San Ilya - namely Joanna Swan, Nick Pullin and Dan Brown, who hail from Bristol, have done just that with their debut album ‘They Died For Beauty’, a tantalizing set that combines a haunting yet delicate vocals and melodies, with a laid back jazz-influenced production style that somehow fuses Jacques Brel with Scott Walker, James Bond, Ipanema style and Curtis Mayfield-remnant basslines.
Revlon chose “Bellissimo” from the album to form the soundbed for their major new advertising campaign featuring Halle Berry, Julianne Moore and Eva Mendes.
The album “The Died For Beauty” is being released by Virgin Records and is available in stores July 27th.
