“Bitterness” has never sounded so good as when Ayla’s singing about it. The Kabi Kabi Country/Sunshine Coast native elevates the sweetness in the emotion with her latest alt-pop single. Don’t worry though; those lyrics have still got some bite.
“This song came out of one of the strongest heartbreaks I’d ever felt – a friendship. Writing it was a way to process the hurt I felt at the time,” Ayla explained. “Sitting with the song for around two years, I’ve been able to reflect on it as a sentiment of the darker elements I felt about the situation at the time. In a way I was embarrassed by the feelings I’d had, but I think that both listening to and writing music helps to process your thoughts and feelings – some of which you don’t want to carry around with you. You can get it out, and then let it go.”
After recently signing to Italian label Ego Records, Ayla might just be set for global domination. Watch this space!
