In this powerful episode of The UNTITLED Podcast, host Indira Cesarine sits down with visionary alt-R&B artist Iyla to unpack the creative and emotional journey behind her debut album Weeping Angel. Co-written and executive produced with longtime collaborator Kadis, the record marks a defining chapter for Iyla—one that channels the heartbreak of losing her mother into a bold meditation on love, spirituality, and rebirth.

Throughout the conversation, Iyla shares intimate insight into her songwriting process, discussing how she transformed grief into empowerment and discovered new parts of herself through art. She opens up about the dualities that define her music—strength and softness, sensuality and sorrow—and how tracks like “Corset,” “Pledge,” and “Blue Eyes” mirror her own evolution as a woman and artist.

From the cinematic visuals that bring her songs to life, to her long-standing creative bond with Kadis, to what it means to reclaim confidence and identity after loss, Iyla’s reflections are as fearless as her music. The episode captures an artist standing firmly in her truth—one who has turned pain into power and vulnerability into art that resonates deeply.
