Swedish independent multimedia artist, songwriter, producer and director ionnalee (Jonna Lee of iamamiwhoami) has launched the KRONOLOGI playlist to celebrate the past decade of her audiovisual work and to soundtrack her audience's isolation. With her planned 10-year anniversary headline North American tour sadly cancelled due to COVID-19, ionnalee will continue to share new pieces from captivating body of work - including demos, live takes, alternative versions and previously unreleased material - with her online community of fans each week until mid-June.
Today, the haunting and previously unreleased song "down by the lake" joins the playlist, following araw live in-studio version of "shadowshow," the first song ever written for iamamiwhoami, as well as a brutal KRONOLOGI version of "u." Listen to the playlist including "down by the lake," HERE.
Each song added the playlist is produced, mixed and mastered by ionnalee, and each single cover is an original watercolor created by ionnalee while in quarantine. Signed originals are available for purchase HERE.
What ionnalee started as an anonymous YouTube channel in 2010 with the account name iamamiwhoami shortly evolved into a world media frenzy around her identity and releases. From there she went on to create a series of full length audiovisual albums, installations, and films, breaking new ground with her visual albums and evolving into an international subcultural maven and powerful performer. To date, her audiovisual projects have earned over 77 millions views on YouTube and 60 million streams on Spotify.
ionnalee's sophomore solo album, REMEMBER THE FUTURE, was released in 2019 to acclaim from Pitchfork, Billboard, Brooklyn Vegan, V Magazine, Nylon and more and included contributions from Röyksopp, Zola Jesus and Jennie Abrahamson.
Beyond her solo work, ionnalee has been masthead of Röyksopp's live shows for the past years including performing as part of their acclaimed show at Coachella 2017.She released her first solo album and feature film, EVERYONE AFRAID TO BE FORGOTTEN, in 2018 and followed the album with a world tour funded through Kickstarter in just 5 days. The hugely successful tour sold out dates across Europe, US, and Latin America, and was followed by a successful North American tour supported by Allie X.
