Ep. 4 DIGITALYA ft. Lila Church

In this episode of Albumly we welcome our special guest Lila Church who just released her album "Digitalya" in April 2021. The album takes us through a powerful journey filled with dance, digital identity, love, change and ambience. 

Lila Church is a multimedia artist from northern NJ. Through maximalism, patterning, distorted repetition, hyperfemininity, and highly saturated colour, her art explores cyclical iterations, states of consciousness, digital life, and the spiritual magic of the universe.

Tune in to find out what drink she recommends with her incredible music!
