Iiris has been compared to many of the greats – Björk, Kate Bush, Regina Spektor and even Florence & The Machine, but she`s always managed to remain original and unique. Her vocals sound hypnotic and fairy-like, she can be commanding and agressive, but when she sits down behind her piano and bares it all – you cannot help but to surrender to this Estonian girl`s talent & beauty. Her debut album "The Magic Gift Box" was released on March 28th 2012 on EMI Music Finland which was nominated for 5 Estonian Music Awards, incl best album, best female artist and best pop album
“Especially good performance and great songwriting”, said Dietmar Schwenger of MusikWoche.
Iiris is an artist who is born to be on stage. Wherever she`s been, wherever she`s performed, audience has been left in awe:
“What time is it? Did I miss the first bands playing tonight? Iiris is owning the stage like a headlining act.” (The Reykjavik Grapevine)
“Iiris is in search of strange soundscapes and alt-rock with delicately bold vocals, and it works.” (NME blog)
“The band’s intense energy and interdynamics, as well as Iiris’s (lead vocals) bubbly personality and control of the stage set an extraordinary tone for the rest of the evening.” (Nutflicks)
“Iiris was out of this world. She was full of confidence and sparked the joy of being onstage. (Soundi).

IIRIS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then try to fight me
If you like me
Know I′m a zombie
Hello, you are a dear friend
You know you are a dear friend
But if you try to love me
Feel like you really want me
Feel like you really want me
Then know that I can hurt you
Know that I'm a zombie
This state can not be beaten
My love can not be beaten
Don′t trust the me you're seeing
Don't trust the me you′re seeing
′Cos if you lose to dreaming
If I lose to dreaming
Then you will be eaten
You will be eaten
If you like me
Then try to fight me
If you like me
Know I'm a zombie
Hello, you are a dear friend
You know you are a dear friend
But if you try to hold me
If you try to hold me
Feel like you really know me
Feel like you really own me
Then know that I can bite you
Know that I′m a zombie
If you like me
Then try to fight me
If you like me
Know I'm a zombie
Zombie in your mind
I′m a zombie in your mind
The lyrics to IIRIS's song "Zombie" express a warning to those who may have feelings of love or attachment towards the singer, who identifies as a "zombie". The singer acknowledges that although they may appear friendly and familiar, underneath the surface they are dangerous and destructive. They use the metaphor of a zombie to represent their inability to be "beaten" out of their current state and their potential to harm those who come too close. The lines "Don't trust the me you're seeing / 'Cos if you lose to dreaming / Then you will be eaten" emphasize the idea that the singer's true nature is a threat to those who are not aware of it.
The repetition of the lines "If you like me / Then try to fight me / If you like me / Know I'm a zombie" throughout the song reinforces the warning to the listeners to stay away from the dangerous allure of the singer. The use of the term "zombie in your mind" in the final line suggests that the singer's presence may linger and haunt those who are drawn to them, further emphasizing the danger of their existence.
