Leyla Blue Releases the Visual to Her New Single "Company"
For those raised on Britney Spears’ generation of pop artist, a recording career seemed like a shortcut to fame and fortune. For New York City native singer-songwriter & 2020 artist to watch, Leyla Blue, born months after Rolling Stone splayed Spears across satin sheets as the face of teen superstardom, music meant something different. The now 20-year-old singer-songwriter sees pop music as an under-utilized vehicle to communicate a distinct perspective, rousing awareness via reactive emotion. Leyla Blue lenses music not as magazine covers, but a Trojan horse — facilitating universal connection one radio-ready bop at a time.
Leyla releases a new song and music video “Company” following up the release of her stunning debut EP “Songs For Boys That Didn’t Text Me Back”, that features her first pair of soul-drenched singles, “Silence” and “What A Shame.” Sonically, Leyla is described as the offspring of Lorde and Destiny’s Child and her music plays on the juxtaposition of both artists.
“Company” is a deeply personal delivery from Leyla that speaks on a girl battling her own demons. The music video, which was shot on an iPhone during quarantine with edits by Leyla, is a dark and shadowy aesthetic showing Leyla having an intimate conversation with her own reflection and performance vignettes throughout the visual. “Company” is the first release of new music to come from Leyla this year.
