NYC Singer-Songwriter Leyla Blue Releases Her Stunning Debut EP “Songs For Boys That Didn’t Text Me Back”
/
From her detached vantage point, 20-year-old New York-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Leyla Blue sees everything clearly as she filters the chaos into empowered and enigmatic pop laced with throwback RnB energy. Streamed over 1 million times on her first two releases and signed to Island Records, the songstress catalyzes moments of insecurity into confidence, going “From ‘Sad Bitch’ to ‘Bad Bitch’,” as she so eloquently puts it.
“My music is essentially an extension of the voice inside of my head,” she admits. “In social settings, it was like I was exploding inside, because of how I much I felt like I didn’t belong. I was miserable. I learned there was no way around these inner battles—only through them. I didn’t become confident in who I am by denying the shit I’ve gone through, I’ve had to own it. I came to terms with my issues through making music.”
Leyla’s first pair of soul-drenched singles, “Silence” and “What A Shame” have amassed over 1 million cumulative streams. Leyla now releases her stunning debut EP “Songs For Boys That Didn’t Text Me Back”. Following the arrival of “Songs For Boys That Didn’t Text Me Back”, Leyla will be dropping the official music video for "Silence" on Monday, November 25th. Sonically, Leyla is described as the offspring of Lorde and Destiny’s Child. On her music she states, “My music is never about me. It’s just me going, ‘This is my shit and how I deal with it. What’s yours?’ I hope by doing so I can inspire others to open up and accept themselves.”
