Layla May is entering an ethereal new world… and she’s taking you with her. Sensual, dreamy and simmering with red-hot emotion, Layla May’s ways are driven by soul-bending vocals and a generous dose of vulnerability. Her ability to make her audiences feel – and dream – has amassed frequent play on BBC Radio, Spotify’s editorial playlists and radio stations across the world, including France, the UAE and the UK. The neo-soul singer-songwriter takes listeners through her heady heartaches, emotional relapses and unfiltered desires, tranquil in one breath and fiery in the next. Her music – tinged with R&B undertones – floats in an ethereal realm of feeling. It’s compelling in all of its contradictions: both nostalgic and contemporary, loaded and stripped back, steamy and poignant. It’s both hers and belonging to the world. In 2021, she opened for global pop star Khalid as part of a star-studded Formula 1 concert line-up, playing to her biggest crowd yet. By 2022, she had expanded her horizons from her home base in Dubai to include the rest of the world – booking stages in London and Paris. With her sights now set on a debut album in 2023, the future is looking brighter– and dreamier – than ever for the artist now known as Layla May. Her inspirations are the likes of Sabrina Claudio, Alina Baraz, James Vickery, rum.gold and H.E.R. as well as the classics such as Amy Winehouse and Christina Aguilera to name a few.
