Today, critically acclaimed alt-R&B artist iyla releases the official video for her latest single, “Corset.” The visual brings her WEEPING ANGEL album artwork to life—literally. iyla served as creative director for the video, working closely with director Justin Moser, together crafting a surreal, cinematic world that mirrors the emotional tension of the track. The video features Sasha Glasser on makeup and SFX, with additional makeup by Raylene Guzmán, and standout styling by Carlos Aviles. It’s a haunting, empowering statement piece that amplifies iyla’s boldest and most personal artistic era yet.

The video arrives on the heels of iyla’s debut album announcement, WEEPING ANGEL, out August 8.Following the life-changing loss of her mother, the 13-track project channels grief into creative clarity and marks her most fearless work to date — a full-length debut shaped by pain, but defined by power.
 
“I’m proud of everything I’ve done, but this is different,” iyla reveals. “A lot of it is because of the grief journey I experienced after my mom died. Having your world crash down will change you. I’ve opened my eyes more. I’ve grown in myself as a woman. I always made music from my soul. I shared my blood, sweat, and tears, but I would previously wonder, ‘What will people think?’ I hope this resonates, but I feel less pressure about anybody else’s opinions. The fact I made this record in the most challenging time of my life is a pearl I’m so proud of. I’ve attained a level of confidence I didn’t have before.”

Her latest single “Corset,” was produced by longtime collaborator Kadis, capturing the emotional whiplash of a relationship that binds tight but never quite feels right. Threaded with vivid metaphors — a lover like a corset down her back, untied and peeled away — the song explores the seductive push-pull of desire, detachment, and self-preservation.
 
“I wrote ‘Corset’ to paint a picture of a situationship that feels more like restriction than romance… tight, binding, sultry, but ultimately suffocating,” says iyla. “As the song builds, I lure a lover back in with a siren call, only to send him away again — too clingy, too attached, and destined to be put to bed once again.”

“Corset” follows a string of standout singles that have cemented iyla as one of modern R&B’s most compelling voices. From the sultry tension of “ Wild ” (named a Billboard R&B Fresh Pick), to the fiery empowerment of “ Skirt Hurt (Redemption) ,” to the hypnotic energy of “ Overboard ” (praised by  Uproxx  as “hypnotic” and “spicy”), and the no-holds-barred bounce of “ Strut ” (lauded by  Rated R&B  and  VIBE ), iyla continues to evolve — sonically, emotionally, and unapologetically. And the gut-wrenching ballad “ Blue Eyes ,” written in her mother’s honor after her passing. That loss, both soul-shattering and clarifying, became the emotional catalyst for her forthcoming album  WEEPING ANGEL , out August 8.
