ILIA continues to build an impressive creative momentum with the release of the music video for “Gasoline.” The track, a reimagined take on the original by Halsey, taken from his 2025 EP The Great Deep, reinforces a prolific era defined by focus, growth, and artistic clarity.
Rather than leaning on nostalgia, ILIA approaches the song as an opportunity to reshape its emotional architecture. His version transforms the track into a brooding, guitar-driven statement that blends alternative rock intensity with cinematic atmosphere. The result feels expansive and deeply personal, signalling an artist intent on pushing beyond expectations.
The accompanying video amplifies this vision. Dark, immersive visuals and emotionally charged performance sequences position ILIA at the centre of a compelling sonic and visual world. It’s a cohesive extension of The Great Deep, a project that continues to unfold through carefully crafted releases rather than a single moment in time.
Comparisons to influential alternative and industrial acts underscore the scope of ILIA’s sound, but his identity remains distinct. He balances technical precision with emotional immediacy, allowing experimentation to coexist with accessibility. This duality has become a defining feature of his work and a key factor in his growing appeal.
With “Gasoline,” ILIA demonstrates not only consistency but evolution. Each release adds new depth to his artistic universe, suggesting a trajectory driven by ambition and a commitment to long-term creative storytelling. As The Great Deep continues to expand, ILIA stands poised to reach an even wider audience.
“With ‘Gasoline,’ ILIA takes a song that already carries emotional volatility and pushes it into a darker, more cinematic space,” says Danielle Holian, publicist for Decent Music PR. “This release really showcases where he is creatively right now, fearless, guitar-forward, and visually uncompromising. After the momentum he’s built over the past year, this video feels like a defining moment for the project.”
