William Black, ILLENIUM, and Alana Springsteen unite on ‘My Own Advice’

by: Zach Salafia Oct 13, 2023

The rollout to William Black’s forthcoming album nears its conclusion with the release of its fourth and final single, “My Own Advice.” The track is a collaborative effort with long-time friend ILLENIUM and features a compelling top-line from rising artist-songwriter Alana Springsteen.

“My Own Advice”—released via Lowly—is the second collaboration from William Black and ILLENIUM, following 2021’s “Superhero” from ILLENIUM’s Fallen Embers Deluxe album. Now, they reunite with a new single that serves as the last off of Black’s upcoming, highly-anticipated third studio album The Nature of Hope.

The new single arrives to streaming services in conjunction with the formal announcement of Black’s aforementioned album The Nature of Hope as well as the release of its corresponding track list. The album features previously released singles “Last Forever,” “Beautiful Nothing,” “In The Cold“—his collaboration with Dabin—and “Lie“.

ILLENIUM recently released ‘STARFALL‘, a hardcover graphic novel based on his self-titled album that he worked on together with Z2 Comics.

“My Own Advice” is an easily streamable dance-pop hit with just the right amount of that future bass sound that Black and ILLENIUM have become so synonymous with. It’s a record about self love, explaining that sometimes the person we are the hardest on is yourself. We can be quick to offer friends advice, but we don’t take it ourselves.
