Laila Returns with New Song “TALK”
Toronto-based pop singer-songwriter Laila returned with a new song “TALK” on September 6, 2024.
The song is her first music since the debut EP “My Heart Doesn't Work Like That”, which was released last October.
The track delves into the complexities of a situationship where emotional investments clash with casual intentions, capturing the angst and confusion that often accompany these blurred lines when feelings become more than just words.
The track was written by Laila Kharouba, Matt Snell, and Robbie Brett. Produced by Matt Snell, Robbie Brett, and Derek G Machin.
“Talk! A classic tale: one person is deeply invested while the other insists things are casual. I wrote this song to make sense of a situationship (...cringe),” Laila said of the song. “I was in with another musician who lives in LA. We used to FaceTime for hours at a time each week. When I finally asked what we were, the answer I got was 'talk'... not the 4 letter word I was expecting to hear.”- She continued, “My producers and I took inspiration from Dua Lipa & Holly Humberstone for the dark pop sonic landscape. Listen to this when you rage drive home after seeing that 'casual' person (after you said it was the last time).”
Laila shared on social media, “This is the start of a new era of lailz and I could not be more excited. I hope y'all love this song as much as I do. it's been a long time in the making.” -
