Ileana Burdine's folk-flavored pop showcases a broad range of musical influences. Alternating between growling aggression and broken-hearted crooning, her voice gives life to the melodic story-driven songs that have earned her accolades from reviewers and fans alike.
Self-described, super ordinary, girl-next-door, Ileana Burdine, is growing up and getting serious. On her fifth full-length release, Without Your Breath, this folk-flavored pop princess brings a friendly sweetness to love, loss, and being lost! Proving that there is a melody to her madness, the irresistibly hooky pop single "Einstein In A Skirt" contrasted with the haunting original spiritual "Thy Will Be Done" shows an artist comfortable with all sides of her character and an ability to use imagery and humor to illustrate the ups and downs in all of our lives.
"I Can't Fall Asleep," a frantic insomniac anthem with an honest vocal laced with pop-culture references and self-assured sass, is typical Burdine; accessible and familiar with an upbeat vibe which belies her darker lyrics. While the dreamy, acoustic ballad "Tread Softly" bears the delicate nature of an unguarded woman in love. In addition to radio airplay, Ileana has received accolades from the Billboard Song Contest and the New Mexico Music Industry Awards. She performs live all over Los Angeles and the Southwest, including high profile appearances at the Thirsty Ear Music Festival and the PEAK Picnic.
