Layla's music reflects the dark and mysterious aspects of love and passion. Her EP, "Bittersweet Chocolate" (2011) featured "Secret," a seemingly light summer dance song that depicted the burden of carrying a love that lingered past its expiration date, which the chillout tune, "Every Time I Close My Eyes" also echoes. "Complacent" was a story of an unhappy relationship that neither could bear to leave. "Let You Be" (2012) was a song that finally came to terms with the ending of a relationship. Layla was the lead singer of dream pop band, Mango Dreamers, where more bossanova beach-vibes songs like "My Paradise" (2014) and "You Found Me" (2013) gave Layla a chance to show that she wasn't always such a downer. In 2016, Layla released an EP, "Love, Los Angeles" that documented her feelings about the Los Angeles dating scene. "No Games" explained the inherent contradictions present in dating - "I don't play games," say both men and women, all the while doing exactly that. "Don't Come Back" was Layla's declaration to remind others (and herself) to cut off the zombies (those who ghost then come back to haunt). "Nothing to Lose" (2017) and "This is Love" (2018) are songs that reflect what an evolved, unconditional love could look like, the kind of love that continues on, even if the relationship does not.
