COME THRU VOCALS — Daily Vocal Discoveries from INYIM Media
Come Thru Vocals is a long-running It’s Not You It’s Me Media series spotlighting standout vocal performances, emerging artists and new songs worth adding to your rotation. Curated by the INYIM music desk, many selections later appear in the Musique Dig’s Weekly Playlist and enter rotation on INYIM Radio.
Today’s Come Thru Vocals pairs Hilary Duff’s “What Dreams Are Made Of (Mine)” with ILLIT’s “It’s Me.” Duff revisits a defining pop anthem with a more lived-in glow, while ILLIT arrives from the opposite direction with a sleek, youthful declaration of identity. It is a wonderfully left-field Monday pairing held together by bright hooks, instantly recognizable voices and the thrill of hearing familiar pop instincts pushed somewhere new.

Hilary Duff rewrites a Y2K dream while ILLIT turns self-definition into a sugar-rush hook.

Hilary Duff
Tune: “What Dreams Are Made Of (Mine)”
Hilary Duff approaches “What Dreams Are Made Of (Mine)” with the ease of someone who knows exactly how deeply the song lives in her audience. Her vocal feels warmer and more grounded without sanding away the chorus’s wide-eyed lift, turning the revisit into something affectionate rather than a nostalgia photocopy.
ILLIT
Tune: “It’s Me”
ILLIT makes “It’s Me” feel like a self-introduction delivered in flashing lights. The members trade featherlight lines and crisp group moments over a polished pop pulse, balancing sweetness with enough rhythmic snap to keep the track from floating away.
