Well, this makes a change from our favoured electro bleeps ‘n’ beats.
Saaaaaarf London’s LAYLA has got us on our knees (hur hur) with her latest creation For You, which she’s only bloody giving away as a free download here.
It precedes the release of her new four track EP Weightless on November 10th, and a headline set at the Lexington on November 3rd – you should go; buy tickets here.
With her effortless yet affected vocals, she’s a whole bag of contradictions, sounding at once vulnerable yet powerful. Writing poetic music to “understand how humans operate” which she records from the bottom of her garden, we like LAYLA a lot(ta).
Her rich, textural sound is the musical equivalent of putting on a chunky wool cardigan; a bit scratchy on the surface but ultimately enveloping you in warmth. Did we just say that. Anyway, listen for yourself and let us know what you think.
