Jojo dreamie12/30/2023 ![]() Unabashedly laying it all on the line, ANLIL has also released “Phantom’s” subsequent follow-up, “Scars” another near-diary entry that draws the listener even further into her alluring story of life and living through the ebbs and flows of it. “‘Phantom’ tells a story of a lonesome soul roaming from city to city, desperately trying to grasp onto a feeling of “home.” The feeling of being alone, like a ghost and the struggle of abandonment was what influenced the words and held the structure of the story for ‘Phantom’.”ĪNLIL once again teamed with Sunny Diamonds to mix and record the track, and enlisted Mike Bozzi for mastering. “I wanted to write about how I felt, the built-up tension from my pain. ![]() “It started with synth chords, a bass line, and I then slowly began to sculpt the skeleton of ‘Phantom’ in the basement of my parent’s home,” she says.

I didn’t have any intent for what I was about to create.” “I had just closed a chapter of hardships in my life, and struggling to keep steady to see eye-to-eye and tolerate those closest to me. “The intention behind writing ‘Phantom’ was being as vulnerable as possible,” ANLIL explains. Prepared to leave it all on the lyrics, she delivers on relating and resonating with the pieces each of us are desperate to put back together. Charming harmonies add velvety layers to this already evocative ballad about loving and losing.Ĭhased with soothing synth, “Phantom” is a bop that exposes ANLIL in her rawest, most vulnerable self. The track is Sade-smooth with JoJo-dreamy vocals that curl inside your earbuds and nest. ![]() At her most vulnerable and raw, Toronto-based self-described ‘sad-girl’ pop artist ANLIL is here to haunt with the release of her slick, R&B-infused banger, “Phantom” - available now.
