Emerging NYC-based starlet Ayla D’lyla returns with a sublime slice of dark pop that might well become one of your favourite songs of the week.

Beautifully intense and melancholic, new single ‘To Be a Girl’ looks into the sense of delusion that we can sometimes begin to foster when we are in a relationship.

“‘To Be a Girl’ is a letter to all of the girls who have lost themselves in the midst of a relationship. We often measure happiness by the romance existing, or not existing, in our worlds. Many of us tend to lose ourselves living in this state of fantasy and passion.”

The song marks a phenomenal year for D’lyla, who’s achievements in 2022 alone included critical acclaim from the likes of Wonderland, Paper and V magazines, a debut headline show in New York and over 470k streams on Spotify.

Today marks the release of New York pop artist Ayla D’lyla’s latest single, entitled ‘Anywhere But Here’.

Dreamy and summery in character, the song was inspired by a yearning for escapism, and reminds city-dwelling listeners that life is all about balance:

“‘Anywhere But Here’ embodies the feeling of leaving the smoggy city and finding satisfaction in the simplicity of nature.”

To date, D’lyla’s work has picked up the attention of notable tastemaker publications like Paper and V magazines, while her work attracts more than 90k monthly listeners on Spotify alone.
