Today, Staten Island songstress LAYA releases the heady Um, Hello, her debut EP on Warner Records. The 11-track set shows off the R&B singer, songwriter, and creator’s versatility as she balances airy melodies with hefty beats, explores nostalgic sounds through a modern lens, and packs it all with plenty of sass and seduction to keep us firmly rooted in the present. The EP arrives alongside a virtual-reality-themed video for sultry bedroom groove “On Sight.”
