**MARCH 24, 2023 [Montreal, CA]**  – Today, Montreal-born singer-songwriter **laye**
releases her newest track “[**blue**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=cf29cdfb34&e=615f2b8493),”
which continues the artist’s foray into indie pop, with an infectious waltz beat
and rich pop production.

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](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=17e5215b54&e=615f2b8493)__(

she is one of our most exciting young pop artists, pursuing a vision all her own
while creating beautiful, dystopian pop gems.
