Exit 110
iiO
The follow-up album six years in the making, Exit 110 is the continuation of iiO’s debut album Poetica, comprised of songs recorded during the original sessions for the first album and before Nadia Ali’s professional separation from Markus Moser to focus on her solo career. All the charm of iiO is here, with elements of ‘80s synth pop, unique melodies and Nadia’s endlessly lovable words and vocals. The stark contrast was present on Poetica and is even more noticeable on Exit 110: One of iiO’s bigger hallmarks is their ability to sound completely different from everyone else out there and not come across as remotely self-conscious. Between Moser’s penchant for nostalgic production elements and Ali’s melancholic and Eastern-influenced delivery of autobiographical lyrics, iiO has always stood out as one of the most personal dance music groups.
