laye’s sultry, playful vocals fuse a light, airy melody with signature somber lyrics, making her interior world sound both apocalyptic and cheery. She says of the track, “‘blue’ is for the lovers that are trying to unlearn past toxic tendencies.  I think it’s special in that it’s a remorseful breakup song but from the point of view of someone that felt like they weren’t the best version of themselves for the person that maybe deserved that the most.”

“blue” was co-written by Cici Ward (Cheat Codes, Lil Huddy, GAYLE), with production helmed by Stevie Aiello (30 Seconds to Mars, Starset). laye’s talent for creating atmospheric pop music, never compromising on her vision or a solid hook, is on full display here. For laye, making pop music is a big umbrella full of creative potential and opportunity.

“I think people are really redefining what it means to be a pop artist today,” she says. “When you hear ‘pop’ I think your mind goes to one specific type of song, but ‘pop’ is almost always a mix of genres, and it’s up to you to choose what you want to do with it.”

As a singer and songwriter, laye is coming into her own and exploring the next chapter of her evolution as an artist. With over 17 million global streams, and features in FASHION (Canada’s #1 Fashion and Beauty Magazine) and PAPER Mag, she is one of our most exciting young pop artists, pursuing a vision all her own while creating beautiful, dystopian pop gems.
