Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning hitmaker Cirkut, “Illuminate” highlights the musical chemistry between two artists known for pushing creative boundaries.
Jessie Reyez, recognized for her fearless songwriting and emotionally charged performances, joins forces with Palestinian-Chilean sensation Elyanna, whose unique fusion of Arabic, Latin, and Western influences has earned her a rapidly growing international fanbase. Together, they deliver a track that reflects unity, identity, and cultural connection ahead of the world’s biggest sporting event.
The collaboration arrives during a major moment in both artists’ careers. Reyez is preparing for the release of her upcoming album A LITTLE VENGEANCE, scheduled to drop on June 12 through FMLY/Island Records. Elyanna, meanwhile, continues expanding her global reach after landmark performances with Coldplay and becoming the first artist to sing in Arabic at Coachella.
Beyond the music, both performers are also giving back. Reyez has pledged to donate her artist fee from “Illuminate” to charitable organizations, while Elyanna plans to support initiatives connected to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ campaign.
“Illuminate” follows previous singles released for the Official FIFA World Cup 2026™ Album, including collaborations from Jelly Roll and Carín León, Los Ángeles Azules and Belinda, and Daddy Yankee with Shenseea. Each release has added a distinct cultural flavor to the project, reinforcing the tournament’s global spirit.
As anticipation builds for FIFA World Cup 2026™, the album continues to showcase how music and sport can unite cultures, voices, and fans across every corner of the world.
