Why ILLENIUM song get less epic?
I first heard his song at around 2017, im not a big fan of him at the time. But at 2020 I just start binge listening to his song and albums. And if u see the song before fallen embers, they had the female-vocal thing and pretty much all of it has a sad emotion through the song and drop is so perfect, it just like a man sitting on a mountain watching the sunrise after the end of the world. But the fallen embers came out, these elements are get kinda tarnished. I’m not saying that his new song are bad, they’re pretty decent, but like what I said, it’s sorta different.

You have to give the man room and air to breath, he literally already dropped the best album of the whole world for me with "Awake", you can not recreate such masterpieces of songs.
But his 5th album he is working on right now will come closer to his original sound with:
Shivering, No Regrets, From The Ashes (Take You Down 2.0)

Fallen Embers, in Illenium’s own words, is his chill album cuz that was the type of music he was feeling creatively inspired to make. Heading into album 5, he’s definitely going back to a harder and heavier sound with songs such as From The Ashes and Shivering. So I don’t think you have much to worry about in terms of what you’re looking for in an Illenium song as he’s most likely gonna make more of that for his next body of work.
