In the recently released visualiser for her song \u2018Solitude\u2019, reggae singer Lila Ik\u00e9 is filmed enjoying her own company while swimming near a waterfall, strumming her guitar and meditating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The visualiser is devoid of any cell phones or devices as it shows her unplugged from the world, climbing a mango tree to pick mangoes and reading a book at home where she lives alone. In a reflective mood, she sits under the shade of the mango tree and pens \u2018Solitude\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The visualiser taps into the solitude many are experiencing now and the respite it has given the singer from the trappings of her growing fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight ya now nuff a dem fi get block and delete. Airplane mode, how the life yah so sweet. Come a ring off me line seven days of the week,\u201d she sings in her sultry vibrato about the need to unplug from the constant demands of an artiste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is a true story about being down, being overwhelmed with people and their energy. I need a break sometimes so that song for sure means the most to me and it is a song a lot of people can relate to,\u201d she tells Loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The song\u2014 which she describes as Lauryn Hill-esque neo-soul\u2014means the most to Ik\u00e9 of the seven songs on her debut EP The ExPerience as it was the first song she composed on a special guitar given to her as a birthday present from Protoje. The founder of In Digg nation Collective has been working with Lila since reaching out to the singer via Twitter in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
