"This Feeling" is the intro track to the Iridescent
Flower Child EP, which is in essence the introduction to my story and
existence in the music world. "This Feeling" was originally written in
my home studio along with my friend Lee Ackred and later reproduced with
Josh Holiday. Lee was messing around in Logic and created a really
sexy two track loop and I just got on the mic and started singing what
came to me. I was recalling the feeling I felt when I stepped off stage
from my first show. When I started my set there were maybe 30 people in
the venue and when I finished there were about 100 people giving me a
standing ovation. It was pure euphoria and as small as the show was I
recall it as one of the best experiences I have ever had. Josh and I
came back to the song a few years later to create the final product. The
song is about the feeling of euphoria, feeling it for the first time,
and trying desperately to bottle up the sensation and keep it forever.
The video was shot by Ben Johnson Creative. I wanted the video to
capture the feel of the entire EP, specifically the title.
More about Ilana Armida and Iridescent Flower Child:
Always wanting to entertain and perform, Armida gravitated to music and
theater at an early age and took her talents with her to college where
she enrolled in Florida Atlantic University's Commercial Music Business
program. During her tenure at FAU, Armida took part in their student run
record label Hoot/Wisdom Recordings where she learned the ins and outs
of perfecting her craft. In 2013, Armida unleashed a short EP entitled Used Up, and is thrilled to be back with her follow up, Iridescent Flower Child which is to be released through her own record label, Eastpark Entertainment.
The 7-track EP is the outward expression of who she is as an artist and
showcases her unique mix of energetic R&B melodies with catchy,
soulful pop vocals, with a hint of funk and hip-hop throughout. The EP
consists of already released tracks including the pop-dance tune "Pretend," and "Still Down For You"
which is soulful ballad that incorporates harmonized vocals over
syncopated piano chords and dynamic percussion. Armida expands on the
overall EP theme by stating:
"The word Iridescent signifies when something appears to
change color when looked at from different angles. This concept alludes
to my multiple dimensions and ideas that I communicate through the EP.
Flower represents growth both as an artists but also as a person and a
woman coming into my own. Child us used to symbolize two things; one is
keeping things playful and not taking everything so seriously but also
remembering my big dream that I had as a little girl and staying true to
who I am."
The 7 track EP was recorded in Bradenton, FL at the EastPark Entertainment
Studio where Armida worked with producer Josh Holiday and mixing
engineer Scott Orsini "Artichoke." While creating the EP, Armida
connected with former Florida Atlantic University alumni and friends Lee
Ackred, Mylon Shamble, John Frasca to co-write "Pretend." In addition,
Armida was delighted to incorporate Kristina Bryant and Jamarah Eason
who provided additional harmonies on the track, along with bassist Alex
Szotak and guitarist John Frasca.
