Laila Biali would like to reintroduce herself.

The raven-haired musician has won awards (SOCAN Composer of the Year and Keyboardist of the Year at Canada’s National Jazz Awards) and played the world’s most prestigious venues (North Sea Jazz Festival, Tokyo’s Cotton Club, Carnegie Hall). She’s toured with GRAMMY award winners (Chris Botti, Paula Cole, Suzanne Vega) and recorded with an international icon (Sting). In short: She’s established herself as one of Canadian jazz’s brightest young stars. And now, almost two decades into a successful career, she’s ready for a change. 

“It’s been a long time coming,” Laila says of her upcoming self-titled album. “I’ve been playing music professionally for years but this album feels, in a way, like a new beginning.”

Led by the funky single, “Got to Love,” LAILA BIALI is the culmination of everything the acclaimed singer-songwriter has achieved thus far. “Writing this album, I felt like a kid in a candy store, wanting to try everything,” Laila explains. “It took some time for me to find my voice as a songwriter, and I didn’t want to pigeonhole myself into any one particular genre.” 

The end result is an eclectic-but-focused album that Laila describes as “fully representative.” “There are elements of improvisation, so the jazz is there,” she says. “There’s also an edgier songwriting persona that I think has always been there but took some time to hone in on.” 

Catchy, sophisticated, and unlike anything currently on the radio, it’s pop music, but not the kind that can be neatly tagged by an algorithm. Melodies take thrilling left turns and pre-choruses give way to instrumental interludes. One minute Biali is soaring over a bluesy storm of handclaps and hard-charging keyboard riffs (“Got to Love”), the next she is pouring out her soul on an impassioned, slow-burning plea for empathy (“Refugee.”) It’s pop music, but the experimental, distinctly human variety popularized by Regina Spektor, Rachael Yamagata, and Sara Bareilles. 

Balancing the competing impulses was a challenge, but the final outcome was worth it. “I’m more excited about this record than any other project of mine to date,” Laila declares. Fans should be too.

09 Code Breaking

06 Dolores Angel

In July of 2015, the BBC Global News reported a particularly harrowing bombing in Syria, allowing listeners to hear the cries of a 5-year-old boy suffering severe head injuries caused by the blast. My own son, Josh, was the same age at the time. I felt helpless and gutted. How could anyone make a difference in the ongoing refugee crisis? Instinctively, I went straight to the piano and wrote this song.

05 Refugee

02 We Go

My husband and I lived in Brooklyn’s Prospect Heights neighborhood – near Lincoln and Underhill – from February of 2010 through September of 2015. When we first moved, the neighborhood was still “in transition.” There were lots of interesting people – generations of families who’d been living there for decades. Then gentrification took hold. Predatory property managers acquired buildings, offering longtime residents grossly unbalanced “deals” to vacate their rent-controlled apartments. If occupants didn’t comply, they were unlawfully evicted. Inevitably, there was pushback from within the community, and a few particularly vocal folks who took a stand and did what they could, using tenant protection laws to fight for justice. Chuck, whom we’d dubbed “the mayor,” regularly reported what was going on behind the scenes. And there was actually a fellow named Justice. He could barely walk but always greeted us enthusiastically from across the street. Stoop teachers and street-corner preachers, we’ll never forget these passionate local crusaders. They were the lifeblood of these neighborhoods, what we miss most about Brooklyn.

Teddy Pendergrass - Love TKO

Multi award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter and pianist Laila Biali has toured with Chris Botti, Paula Cole, Suzanne Vega and Sting. She has headlined festivals and venues spanning five continents, from Carnegie Hall in New York City to the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing. Her accolades include a 2019 JUNO Award (Canada's GRAMMY) for “Vocal Jazz Album of the Year”, top prize at the 2018 Canadian Songwriting Competition (Jazz), “SOCAN Composer of the Year” and “Keyboardist of the Year” at Canada’s National Jazz Awards, a JUNO nomination for Tracing Light, and a spot on DownBeat Magazine’s “Best Albums of the Year” list for Live in Concert. In 2015, Laila released her first album of entirely original music, House of Many Rooms – an indie-pop project featuring a star- studded lineup including the vocalist Lisa Fischer, who is featured in the Academy Award-winning documentary 20 Feet From Stardom. In September of 2017, Laila was brought on as the host for CBC Music’s national radio show, Saturday Night Jazz. And while Laila continues to earn high honours in the Jazz world, her unique genre-bending sound is what sets her apart as she "masterfully mixes jazz and pop, bringing virtuosity and unpredictability to songs that are concise and catchy.” (Washington Post) She will release her next album in March 2020.
