About Me

Purchase your copy of the new album "Without Your Breath" here:
Self-described super ordinary girl-next-door Ileana Burdine is growing up and getting serious. On her fifth full-length release, Without Your Breath, this folk-flavored pop princess brings a friendly sweetness to love, loss, and… being lost! Proving that there is a melody to her madness, the irresistibly hooky pop single "Einstein In A Skirt" contrasted with the haunting original spiritual "Thy Will Be Done" shows an artist comfortable with all sides of her character and an ability to use imagery and humor to illustrate the ups and downs in all of our lives. "I Can't Fall Asleep," a frantic insomniac anthem with an honest vocal laced with pop-culture references and self-assured sass, is typical Burdine; accessible and familiar with an upbeat vibe which belies her darker lyrics. While the dreamy, acoustic ballad "Tread Softly" bears the delicate nature of an unguarded woman in love. In addition to radio airplay, Ileana has received accolades from the Billboard Song Contest and the New Mexico Music Industry Awards. She performs live all over Los Angeles and the Southwest, including high profile appearences at the Thirsty Ear Music Festival and the PEAK Picnic. New songs and upcoming performance dates can also be found at www.IleanaBurdine.com.
