HENJILA

Henjila has always been an artist of opposites. Her earlier work was raised as “adorably sincere” by Clash, and Checkout Mag complimented her “audible softness” but also found her “steely in her stance”, In her initial arrival on the scene, she gained notoreity for combining emotionally mature lyrics with the prettiest melodies. This duality of the delicate and the direct is still true of Henjila to this day. Her voice: serene, floaty – but also pitch perfect, and precise. Scrolling through her social media you find someone very comfortable in the spotlight and on stage – but equally delighting in her carefully curated home comforts; plumped cushions, silk curtains, long-burning candles.

Henjila returns with music drawn from a rich array of influences, which complement each other beautifully. She draws distinctly from grunge, UKG, hyperpop, folk, and K-Pop – with inspirations ranging from Ichiko Aoba to Avril Lavigne.
