NEW SINGLE ''FEEL LIKE'' OUT 31st OCTOBER 2025

W: Jamie King. I: Paul Bogal

'Feel Like' is more than a single; it's a compelling marker for what's next from an artist who is authentic, utterly in command, and unstoppable on her own terms.

South London's LAYYAH isn't just following trends; she’s setting the standard. Having made history last December as the first-ever female winner of BBC Three’s The Rap Game UK, Layyah is turning that monumental win into unstoppable momentum. With millions of streams already under her belt from tracks like 'Money Moves' and 'Passenger Side' (featuring grime trailblazer Scorcher), she returns with the intoxicating new single, 'Feel Like'—a track that perfectly encapsulates why she's fast becoming one of UK Black music's essential new voices.

'Feel Like' is the sound of an artist utterly comfortable in her own multifaceted skin. Layyah describes the track as flowing naturally, a perfect blend of flirty energy with confidence and connection. "It balances intimacy with movement, strength with softness, and romance with play," she explains. This philosophy translates into a sound that perfectly marries R&B feeling with the sharp edge of UK rap bite, underpinned by an RnDrill cadence and a warm UK Afroswing bounce.

Crafted in the studio with platinum-selling producer JB Made It (Drake, Central Cee, Headie One), the song is built for instant recall. Its conversational vocals slide over a glorious bassline and infectious groove, creating a vibe that urges the listener to "time, rewind, and savour the moment." It’s a record you can lose yourself in with headphones or take straight to the dancefloor.

Layyah’s artistry is deeply informed by her roots and her influences. Born in South London to a Sierra Leonean mother and South African father, her musical foundation was laid at elite institutions like the Centre for Young Musicians (CYM) and ELAM, starting as a vocalist before honing her razor-sharp bars.

Her inspirations are legendary: Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, Motown greats, and the late great Tupac Shakur. This diverse tapestry results in her unique signature—a sound that is poetic, melodic, and unflinchingly honest. Since her historic Rap Game win, she's been delivering bold, empowered singles that champion sisterhood, self-worth, and perseverance.

Layyah’s command isn't just recorded; it’s proven live. Her magnetic stage presence has ignited crowds at major events, including Amazon Music +44’s Fifth Anniversary, Krept & Konan’s ‘Young Kingz II’ concert, and the BBC 1Xtra’s Xmas Party. She doesn't just perform; she owns the stage, proving she is entirely ready for the main stage glare. Layyah’s footprint is expanding rapidly.
