Sorepo (Soul Repossession) Records proudly announces Illumin87ve’s third single, “Vampire,” a haunting and deeply introspective journey through the psychological and physical landscapes of Selma, Alabama—a city marked by its civil rights legacy and stark realities.
Describing Selma as the place “where night meets day,” Illumin87ve crafts music that mirrors the duality of their hometown—a place of both struggle and resilience, darkness and light. “Vampire” embodies this tension, portraying inner turmoil as a reflection of the chaos around it. The raw, evocative vocal performance drags listeners into the murky shadows of a soul caught between torment and transformation, underscored by moody production and brooding lyricism.
On the B-side, “Greatness in the Clutch,” the group shifts focus to a triumphant anthem for overcomers. It’s a celebration of unyielding spirit, resilience, and the sheer refusal to accept defeat. This track pulses with determination, power, and hard-earned victory, making it the perfect complement to the darkness of “Vampire.”
