Layla Kaylif Pushes Boundaries with Her Empowering and Emotionally Charged Single “Closer”
Layla Kaylif is back with a vengeance in the confrontational and edgy sounds of her new single, “Closer”. This defiant song captures the spirit of emotional closeness and plunges headfirst into that void between vulnerability and power. And with “Closer,” Layla is a statement of authenticity and fearless expression.
“Closer” sounds assured and emotionally raw from its opening note. The production is clean but soulful, building luscious harmonies and strong instrumentation around Layla’s rich, expressive vocals. There’s a magnetic chemistry that courses through the track, part sensual, part introspective, that sucks listeners into its gravitational pull. Each lyric is placed with intention, as if she’s peeling back layers of emotion to reveal something deeply personal yet universally relatable.
From a lyrical standpoint, Kaylif investigates the great pull and push between connection and independence, and how truly getting to know someone has to do with facing your inner truths along the way. It’s a raw performance, heavy on palpable feral emotion that stays with you far longer than the song itself.
The production matches the song’s emotional push and pull, blending modern pop sonics with decadent chic. Every beat is deliberate, playing with the rise and fall of Layla’s voice as she slides from strength to softness with ease. It’s the sort of album that makes you play it through every listen, revealing a fresh layer of emotion.
In “Closer,” Layla Kaylif reimagines what it doesn’t get caught up in, showing an edge, a softness, or the truth. And it’s a stunning addition to her already impressive body of work, the calling card of an artist worth paying attention to.

Sofi Vonn creates cinematic intimacy with her captivating single “Selfish”
Sofi Vonn builds on the atmospheric exploration of her second EP, “Lucky with a Side of Depression,” by immersing you in a deep blend of nighttime feelings and electro-pop. “Selfish” was made in London with up-and-coming producer Malthus, and it captures the EP’s dreamy central theme.
Vonn’s take on pop is always deep and makes you think about yourself, and “Selfish” sums up the struggle between wanting to protect your heart and wanting to be recognized. The song takes you to a softly lit world of thought without making it louder. “Selfish” derives its power from restraint rather than loud rhythms or theatrical hooks.
Sofi Vonn shows that electronic pop can be deep, soulful, and emotional while still being classy. The single fits perfectly into the EP’s emotional framework, where longing meets awareness, desire meets consequence, and beauty meets pain. It’s late-night realism wrapped in dream-pop, and Vonn seems like the perfect person to represent this mix.
“Selfish” is a voice trying to be real, both with other people and, maybe more difficult, with itself. Vonn turns complicated things into simple ones, and in “Selfish,” Sofi Vonn shows that the modern pop scene still has room for subtlety, emotional depth, and authenticity that isn’t too flashy but still makes a big difference.
