Greek trap and urban pop artist LILA has released her highly anticipated debut album, APOTIPOMA, a raw and heartfelt musical confession that establishes her as a transformative force in the Greek music scene.
Following the success of her 2022 EP XITANA and chart-topping hits like “DEJA VU” (featuring Rack), “ATOUTALER,” “ANASAINO KAI ZALIZOMAI,” “ALLOU,” and “XEIROVOMVIDA,” LILA’s first full-length project showcases her ability to blend diverse musical styles with a unique aesthetic.
Since teasing the album in the summer of 2023, LILA has poured her creative energy into crafting a work that bridges classic and contemporary, pop and tradition, and urban culture with the female experience.
APOTIPOMA, meaning “imprint,” is a deeply personal project where LILA’s music becomes an extension of her body and soul. The album’s cover art, featuring the tracklist written on her bare back, is a literal and symbolic statement: her songs carry the weight of unspoken trauma, strength, desire, and acceptance. This bold choice is not provocation but a declaration that everything within and upon her deserves to be heard.
The album features nine original tracks, each a testament to LILA’s sincerity, boldness, and love for sound, lyrics, and lived experience. It opens with “AMANE,” a haunting intro with Andalusian vocals and LILA’s first rap over a hip-hop/trap downtempo beat. “BOSS” follows, blending classic rap flows with vibrant pop vocals, evoking the 2000s with futuristic K-pop-inspired elements. “FANATICO,” a collaboration with multi-platinum rapper Rack, fuses Afro-dancehall with Mediterranean melodies, while “MANIATIKO” delivers a dance-merengue summer anthem with a chant-like chorus. The “APOTIPOMA” title track is a reggaeton-infused ode to Greek sunsets and nostalgic love. “EXXXTRAAA” combines urban Afro-dancehall and reggaeton with electro aesthetics, and “KRYFO DOMATIO” channels Brazilian funk with a mix of retro and modern vibes. In “BACHATA,” LILA and SICARIO pioneer Greece’s first mainstream bachata track, reimagining the sensual dance. The album closes with “XENA,” an Afrobeat ballad with Greek elements, symbolizing a journey from the present to an unknown future.
Beyond (Barrice) and LILA’s brother, Sin Laurent, produced APOTIPOMA in a trusting collaboration. It is a family affair that reflects LILA’s authentic vision. Each track is paired with a music video filmed over seven days, creating a cohesive audiovisual narrative of nine distinct stories. Released on May 23, 2025, the album is available on all digital platforms.
