Hayla, One of the Defining Voices of Current Dance Music, On Releasing Her Debut Album ‘Dusk’

After singing on hits by artists including Kx5, John Summit, Kygo and Sub Focus, the British artist is releasing her solo project today (Nov. 1).

The British artist was closing the set with “Escape,” the 2022 hit by deadmau5 and Kaskade’s collaborative project Kx5 which she co-wrote and contributed vocals on, forging the track’s emotional core. Out through Believe Music, the 10-track collection has already generated millions of streams, with singles like “Fall Again,” “Treading Water” and “Embers,” and finds Hayla fusing her love of ambient and electronica with the more progressive mainstream sounds that have helped make her a star. Dusk is named for Hayla’s favorite time of day, with this vibe enhanced her X-Men meets haute couture aesthetic, which she calls “dopamine dressing” because it makes her feel good.
