GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum producer, songwriter, and artist ILLENIUM unveils a new single entitled ‘Forever‘ with Tom Grennan and Alna out now via Republic Records. Once again, ILLENIUM’s inimitable sonic alchemy powers the track. Setting the vibe, neon synths cast a glow across the blissfully hypnotic beat. Simultaneously, electronics ebb and flow between a jarring drop and a heartbroken hook from Alna, who pleads, “Tell me did we almost have forever?” Tom counters with another perspective altogether. The harmonies lift off to the heavens over ILLENIUM’s ethereal signature production.
‘Forever’
It lands in the wake of ILLENIUM’s recent two-pack single bundle ‘Refuge’ with Norma Jean Martine and ‘Ur Alive’ featuring WYLDE. Beyond amassing millions of streams, he earned widespread acclaim for these songs. EDM.com proclaimed, “ILLENIUM’s latest original music marks a fascinating evolution for the beloved producer. He has spent years perfecting the art of making festival crowds weep through soaring bass drops.”
The two-pack landed on the heels of his recent anthem ‘In My Arms‘ with HAYLA. Thus far, it has reeled in over 9.1 million Spotify streams. In addition to inciting critical applause, Billboard praised the song. They proclaimed, “each artist dials up their respective talents to 11, with the song fusing ILLENIUM’s soaring, anthemic future bass with Hayla’s power-lunged, chest thumping vocals.”
ILLENIUM
ILLENIUM isn’t just a GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi-platinum artist, producer, and songwriter; he’s the architect of a living, breathing, and ever-expanding world. Based in Denver, ILLENIUM initially introduced himself back in 2013. Fueled by a boundary-breaking sound, he has notched three consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums Chart. This began with the Gold-certified Ascend [2019]. It was followed by Fallen Embers [2021], and Il[2023]. Along the way, he delivered a string of smashes, including the 2x-Platinum ‘Good Things Fall Apart’ [feat. Jon Bellion]. Also, Platinum ‘Feel Good’ [feat. Daya] with Gryffin, Gold-certified “In Your Arms” with X Ambassadors and “Crashing” [feat Bahari].
Fallen Embers received a GRAMMY® nomination in the category of “Best Dance/Electronic Music Album”. It took home “Top Dance/Electronic Music Album” at the Billboard Music Awards. He’s established himself as a chameleonic presence by collaborating with musicians across genres. These include Teddy Swims, JVKE, iann dior, Spiritbox, Tom DeLonge, Travis Barker, and Avril Lavigne.
Beyond igniting the stage at festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza, he entered the history books with his “Trilogy” stadium concert series. In 2021, he became “the first electronic dance music artist to headline a football stadium”. He took over Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Two years later, he led “the largest non-festival dance music concert in North America ever” at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. Finally, 2024 saw him pack two nights at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Joining forces with Republic Records, he welcomes all into the embrace of this world via a flurry of new music. There is more to come.
Alna
Alna is a Los Angeles-based songwriter and artist with credits spanning Kylie Minogue, Jax Jones, ILLIT, Amelia Moore, Jenna Raine, IVE, and JEON SOMI. As an artist, she reunites with ILLENIUM on ‘Forever,’ their second collaboration following ‘Superhero.’ Upcoming releases include work with Demi Lovato, Bebe Rexha, Dove Cameron, Hayes Warner, and more.
Tom Grennan
