Jessie Reyez and Elyanna Unite Cultures in the new FIFA World Cup song “Illuminate”

 

Music and football collide in a powerful international collaboration as Canadian singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez joins Palestinian-Chilean sensation Elyanna for “Illuminate,” a standout release from the official FIFA World Cup music project.

 

The track, crafted by acclaimed Canadian producer Cirkut, merges Reyez’s emotional alternative R&B style with Elyanna’s signature mix of Arabic melodies and Latin-inspired rhythms, creating a vibrant song that reflects unity through music and sport.

 

Built around themes of heritage, belonging, and global connection, “Illuminate” brings together diverse musical worlds in celebration of the tournament’s worldwide spirit.

 

The collaboration also marks a milestone for Elyanna, who stands as the sole Middle Eastern artist featured on the FIFA World Cup soundtrack.
