ILUKA’S DECADENT “CRUCIFY ME” MEETS ELLE KING AND FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE

ILUKA, the Australian artist known for her bold lyricism and striking visuals, makes a powerful statement with her latest track “Crucify Me.” The song is a memorable, hard-hitting anthem that directly confronts the devastation and brutality of girlhood, as well as the relentless scrutiny placed on women—particularly those in the public eye and the entertainment industry. It’s brave, confrontational, and unapologetically honest, cementing itself as one of ILUKA’s most commanding releases to date.

Her raspy vocals cut through with venomous precision, blending defiance and vulnerability in equal measure. On “Crucify Me,” ILUKA draws from alt-rock grit, electro-pop textures, and sharp rock edges, creating a genre-spanning sound that underscores the weight of her message. The track doesn’t just resonate musically—it confronts, demands attention, and refuses to be ignored.

The accompanying video amplifies the song’s themes of reclamation and rebirth. Bursting with vibrant color and striking visuals, it showcases ILUKA alongside a group of women dressed in late 19th and early 20th-century gowns, gathered outdoors in communion and solidarity. The imagery balances elegance with strength—an embodiment of womanhood across eras. The video culminates in a baptism-like scene, as ILUKA immerses herself in a lake, suggesting both cleansing and reincarnation—a symbolic rebirth that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.

With “Crucify Me,” ILUKA delivers more than a song—she offers a statement of resistance and renewal, a testament to the resilience of women under relentless pressure, and a vision of empowerment that lingers long after the final note.
