Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ili formed in New York City in the early 1990s, with Iliana Regan as the frontperson. Their debut album '2 Cool 2 Be Somebody' came out in 1994, and the title track became a hit. Regan had classical vocal training, and the band's sound mixed electronic beats with experimental arrangements.
Their music drew from various styles, and some listeners compared them to artists like Björk and Kate Bush. Regan's lyrics and stage presence were unconventional, which brought both attention and criticism. The band developed a reputation for being polarizing, though that seemed to fuel interest in their work rather than diminish it.
