Amber Van Day and Ilira’s new collaboration “See You In Tears” is pure goals. Seriously.
Just a few weeks ago, Amber’s debut single “Kids In The Corner” was featured in the first episode “Fate: The Winx Saga.” It soared to the #2 spot on Shazam’s discovery charts in the US and Australia, and has been searched over 250,000 times worldwide.
Fellow Swiss native Ilira noticed that she had been following Amber on Instagram for quite some time, and was quite a big fan as well. The two linked up virtually to work on songs together, and “See You In Tears” was a clear standout. Amber noted that “‘See You In Tears’ just felt like the song with the most sass!”
Both Amber and Ilira had a blast working on the song together. Amber mentioned, Ilira is such a great writer and I’m obsessed with her voice too. You could say we’re both a bit ‘out there’ and not afraid of pushing boundaries. She’s a SERIOUS boss and empowers me as a female in the industry!”
Meanwhile, Ilira made it clear that there’s no stopping her or Amber! “I have been following Amber’s career for a long time,” she shared. “You could say I was a little fan girl of Amber’s. When we had the zoom session, I was in Switzerland at my parent’s house, the other co-writer was in Berlin and Amber was in London, so it was a very international constellation. I find Amber to be just like me when it comes to perfectionism and passion. I really feel connected to her especially character-wise. We are both ambitious women in an industry full of men, we just get each other.”
