iLLA - Nothing Like
Artist: iLLA
Producer: Stewie Vuiton (a.k.a Stewart Villain)
Album: My Digital Romance EP
Label: Illababy Ent./Coast2Coast
If you take bits and pieces of sturdy horns, melancholy harmonizing, common theory R&B subjects and add a mysterious fourth element, you’d have something at least in the same ballpark as iLLA’s Nothing Like. Driven by an electric horn selection and snares from producer Stewie Vuiton, one of the standout cuts from iLLA’s My True Romance EP finds the singer tinkering with Autotune for the kind of warbling that makes you appreciate the device’s best effects (when used properly, of course). iLLA, also known as one half of the duo Moxie Black, let’s his sweet talk reverberate with whimsical musings, stating in a matter of fact sing-song, “All the glamor in the world couldn’t replace you … all the diamonds in the world don’t shine like you.” It’s the kind of tingly sweet R&B mixed with just a hint of darkness that’s perfect for barbecue cookouts and late night strolls. Thanks to the power of iTunes, you can grab all of iLLA’s My True Romance EP right now and stockpile your R&B collection in attempts to woo that special someone. Good luck.

Loved iLLA's work as a part of Moxie Black and while his solo material isn't quite as strong - or, at least what I've heard of his solo work - its just as catchy. The electro/urban/pop combo has grown on me a lot over the past few years and this works just as much.

The 1st thing I thought was the horns are too piercing. The verses weren't bad I'd play it in the background on one of those chill days.

Another track with good production. The beat is nice, and I really like the horns. However, I think they overpower the vocals, which are average at best.

Instrumental is decent, can't say much for the singer, not lyrically or vocally pleasing...
