Layal Explores Soul & Egyptian Culture on ‘Temporary Highs’

By AboutToBlow @AboutToBlowBlog · On May 29, 2022

It’s a Soulful New Single from The London-Based Artist

Bringing a soulful take to her Egyptian heritage, London-based artist Layal first caught our attention with her single ‘For The Love of The Cool’. Her musical approach sits within the neo-soul category, but brings a global vibe to the production as she outlines below

This song is heavily influenced by my Egyptian roots. It’s inspired by the Me Too movement which took place around the summer of 2020. I wrote this song for women, to tell them that they will not be overshadowed and that the sky’s the limit because they have so much potential. This is also sending the message that people should focus on their own journey rather than judging others. This song is very personal for me as it’s something I always like to bring attention to whether through my conversation or my music so I enjoyed writing this.

The instrumental is inspired by many Egyptian artists and music and it really ties the song together.
