IDYL – “L’ennui”

Belgian singer/songwriter IDYL enters our playlist with “L’ennui,” a contemporary pop/R&B infused cut that explores anxiety and self-assessment from a unique perspective. The title means Boredom in French and is inspired by the feeling of being behind when you have nothing to do. In some ways, being idle and getting caught up in one’s own trappings in an age where everything is moving at lightning speed. IDYL reflects deeply and shares her experiences with heartfelt and uplifting lyrics that everyone can relate to.  The visual style is quite engaging and dynamic as it focuses not only on IDYL’s performance but also on her interaction with her surroundings and the eye-popping set pieces. At one point, she is relaxing with a bored look on her face, and the next, she is smiling and basking in the moment, creating a sort of tension and resolution.
