LAYA

With a style that’s constantly shifting and evolving, LAYA is an unstoppable creative force. A singer, songwriter, producer, and visual artist, LAYA is always bringing her vibrant, authentic take and making it work. From lyrics to cover art and everything in between, LAYA is constantly learning, creating, and refining her sound.

This week, we’re featuring “Calling Me” from her 2022 EP “Um, Hello”. An ambient, atmospheric, space-influenced (peep the classic Star Trek sound effect at 0:19) opening gives way to an almost meditative chant with a bass and tambourine led beat. Gradually, the track builds to euphoric heights, showcasing LAYA’s incredible range as a vocalist with layers upon layers of tight harmony and gorgeous stratospheric riffing. Not to be outdone, LAYA’s lyrics dance between self-affirmation and a warning to anyone who doubts her.
