SOCK IT, SAMPLE IT, VIBE IT: LAYA’S LATEST DROP IS A FRESH SPIN ON R&B GOLD!
Straight out of Staten Island, New York, Laya is proving that the new wave of R&B is here to stay, and it's got all the vibe and innovation we've been craving. Her latest release, Ain't Sad About It (ORA Mix V1), samples Ginuwine’s classic "So Anxious" and flips it into a modern track that’s as chill as it is fresh.
I first got introduced to Laya when I stumbled across her “Sock It To Me” video, a rendition that’s as out-there and fearless as the original Missy Elliott classic. It was a moment that immediately hooked me: a bold, creative vision that paid homage to the old school while carving out a unique space in today’s music scene.
A Fresh Take on Classic Vibes
In Ain't Sad About It (ORA Mix V1), Laya takes the smooth, nostalgic sounds of early R&B and wraps them in a modern, vibey production. The track doesn’t rely on heavy vocals—instead, it lets the lush instrumentals and laid-back grooves do the talking. It’s a soundtrack for those moments when you just need to unwind and let the music carry you away.
The New Talent We’ve Been Missing
Laya is exactly the kind of fresh talent that the scene has been waiting for. She’s got that rare ability to bridge the gap between classic R&B vibes and contemporary soundscapes, creating music that feels both nostalgic and brand new. Her innovative approach reminds us that the best music often comes from artists who aren’t afraid to experiment—taking influences from legends and making them distinctly their own.
More to Come?
While Ain't Sad About It (ORA Mix V1) is a vibe that instantly sets the mood, I’m really excited to see where Laya’s journey takes her next. I’m eager to hear more from her, especially her full vocal range and the creative directions she can explore beyond these vibey instrumentals. There’s so much potential in this Staten Island standout, and if her early work is any indication, we’re in for a treat.
