Rising from the ruins of the past few years, Queen Laya is emerging into uncharted waters, defying expectations as she demonstrates a ferocious new sound. Fusing powerhouse vocals with rocky acidity, Queen Laya continues to usher in a new era of headstrong and vehement views of social issues and everyday life.

Her debut self-titled EP will be released on Friday 17th May 2024.

Queen Laya will also be playing an exclusive EP release show in London at The Grace on 28th May. Tickets can be bought here: https://www.thegrace.london/gigs/queen-laya-the-grace-london-tickets-2024/

I took some vocals of SZA and Kendrick from Kendrick Lamar's Untitled 04, and layered them over the instrumental from Laya's 'Crazy Down'. Enjoy.

Last One Down - Brent Faiyaz x Laya [Remix]

The sound at the beginning of this track is the sound of the conch shell, a sound that is 18,000 years old, originating from ancient coastal civilizations! After piercing a hole in the shell, either at the tip or on one side, the player blows into it to produce sounds similar to those produced by a hunting horn or trumpet. It is one of the oldest surviving musical instruments. For this track, I’ve use rare recordings, from the award winning production Laya Project, a journey of music and visual discovery through six countries affected by the 2004 tsunami. It is authentic and organic folk instruments and vocals, recorded in the remote villages of Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, India, Sri Lanka and Maldives using warm Neve and SSL preamps and Neumann vintage tube mics. The instruments used for this track were recorded in India.

My music defies convention, eschewing strict technical boundaries in favor of allowing the raw essence of the soul to flow freely.

For me, music is more than just a collection of sounds; it's a profound expression of the soul's deepest emotions and experiences. I place a special emphasis on this ethereal connection. Music, in my view, possesses the power to produce vibrations that resonate not only in the visible realm but also in the hidden depths of our consciousness. It is a universal language, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers, capable of forging connections and speaking directly to the core of our being. It propels us toward uncharted horizons, inviting us to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and emotional exploration.
