Based in Berlin, IRYS is a singer-songwriter and producer who started her solo artist project in 2021 which sees her make her own style of alternative electronic pop music in her bedroom. Already making waves around the world with her sensational tracks that wrap familiar, hook-filled pop writing up in dark sonic auras, she’s been deservedly likened to leading artists including Grimes, Charli XCX, Lana Del Rey and Poliça.
Despite the lofty comparisons and high expectations of being listed alongside some of the most exciting talents in modern pop music, IRYS treads her own distinctly unique artistic path, brought about by a DIY ethos that sits at the core of everything she does. Taking full command of every aspect of her creative output, IRYS delivers her own uncompromising vision exactly as she sees it.
Since making her entrance in March 2021 with the release of her debut single “Strange Color”, she’s dropped a string of thrilling tracks over the last couple of years. Bring us her latest work, she shares her new single titled “Waiting Syndrome”, a song that dials up the tempo after the artist’s lo-fi outing “Borderline”.
Opened with an atmospheric vocal sample and plucked instrumental line, “Waiting Syndrome” kicks instantly from the first verse to deliver a subtly driving, hazy underground pop sound. In just over two minutes, IRYS lays down a hypnotising and gritty alternative style full of deep bass synth lines and capped by her alluring vocal leads to offer yet another captivating song from an artist that continues to go from strength-to-strength with every release.
Commenting on the inspiration behind the single, she shares, “My own mind is my biggest cheerleader – and sometimes my biggest enemy. I have phases where I sabotage my progress by trusting the unproductive voice in my head. This is what ‘Waiting Syndrome’ is about – a state of agony caused by a battle between the two polar voices in my head!”
