tiLLie is described as a “genre-defying artist” and has been hailed by BBC Radio’s Jack Saunders as “a maverick artist born from the gates of Hell.” With her self-described “Nightmare Pop” style, the singer effortlessly blends bright, ear-worm pop melodies over brooding, hard-hitting instrumentals rooted in nu metal and 90s electronic sensibilities. tiLLie’s efforts have earned her co-signs from Machine Gun Kelly, Bishop Briggs, and Kevin Lyman, as well as praise from outlets like Alternative Press, Fader, and Spin Magazine. With a clear passion for her work, the artist shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. tiLLie’s latest release is the alternative single “pray t0 god.”

With a striking combination of sugary pop and ear-pleasing nu metal elements, “pray t0 god” provides the perfect genre-blending backdrop to beautifully complement the tune’s uplifting tale. Lyrics like “Eight years and seven days since I, severed your chains and made my escape” and “Fought through the woods, up the tallest mountain, licked my wounds and I drank from the fountain” reflect on the struggle of feeling trapped by an abuser and the empowering sense of taking back control. Fueled by its stunning fairytale-esque elements and a well-earned amount of angst, tiLLie gifts us with a fantastical alternative gem about healing from an abuser and creating your own happily ever after. So, press play and let the words of “pray t0 god” guide your way.
