Mexican producer/songwriter Ilse Hendrix makes what she calls "space pop"—chilled flutters of synths, sublime choruses and electrifying moments of darkness, centered around strong but sensitive vocals reminiscent of Robyn and Christine McVie. From Jamiroquai’s '90s disco euphoria to the laid-back beats of LEISURE, Cuco and Bleu Toucan, these are the inspirations behind her invigorating sound.
