Layul Unleashes Debut EP “Scene One” on April 1st

Emerging emo-rap artist Layul ignites the scene with her debut EP, “Scene One,” dropping on all streaming platforms on April 1st, 2024. Following the success of her singles “New Jersey,” “One Kiss,” and “Off The Gas,” which have collectively garnered over 100,000 streams on Spotify, Layul unveils a raw and introspective collection that promises to resonate with anyone who’s ever battled inner demons or yearned for a connection.

Hailing from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Layul’s music draws inspiration from a diverse range of influences, including hip-hop, indie, emo, and pop-punk. This unique blend translates into a sound that is undeniably her own. “Scene One” is a potent exploration of love, loss, self-discovery, and the struggles of navigating young adulthood.

A Song-by-Song Look at “Scene One”:

  • “New Jersey”: This angsty anthem tackles a tumultuous relationship, fueled by frustration and a yearning for open communication (and a bit of annoyance with the state of New Jersey).

  • “One Kiss”: A catchy yet conflicted track explores the allure and complexities of a passionate yet volatile connection.

  • “Off The Gas”: Layul delves into the intoxicating haze of desire and the struggle to maintain genuine connection amidst fleeting moments of pleasure.

  • “Same Fit” (previously unreleased): A dark and introspective, yet extremely catchy song that confronts self-destruction, emotional detachment, and the desire to escape a toxic situation.

  • “Bad Time” (previously unreleased): A raw and emotional journey through internal struggles, seeking solace in fleeting moments of beauty and the hope of love as an antidote to darkness.

Layul on “Scene One”:

“This EP is a culmination of my experiences and emotions over the past few years,” says Layul. “It’s about the highs and lows, the confusion and the clarity. I want listeners to connect with these songs on a personal level and know that they’re not alone in their struggles.”

In further support of the EP, a captivating music video for “One Kiss” has been filmed in collaboration with Matt Kester Productions. This visually stunning piece is set to premiere within the next two weeks, offering fans another chance to reconnect with this single.
