In the midst of tearing up the festival circuit with a high-profile run of shows, ILLENIUM isn’t slowing down the flow of new music. Hot off of headlining appearances at Sunset Music Festival and EDC Las Vegas, the Fallen Embers producer turned his attention to a pair of packed out shows at the iconic Gorge Amphitheater, where he premiered more new music. Working alongside Atlanta-based singer songwriter Teddy Swims, the new track, tentatively titled “All That Really Matters,” incorporates a heartstring-tugging combination of lingering piano keys and languid, symphonic strings. Escalating into ILLENIUM’s signature combination of rock-infused melodic trap, the vocal chop-driven effort seemingly has all the makings of a radio-friendly electronic hit. Wh...
