Twenty‑year‑old singer‑producer Laila is preparing to release her next album, We’ll Never Be This Young Again, a project she says captures the urgency of her early twenties.
In a recent interview, Laila described the album’s creation as a “relentless sprint” of songwriting and production, noting that she handled most of the instrumentation herself while collaborating with a handful of longtime co‑writers.
She also confirmed that she will be joining fellow artists Kali Uchis and Mariah the Scientist on a joint tour later this year, a partnership she believes will broaden her audience and provide a dynamic live experience for fans of the three performers.
Outside of music, Laila revealed a new personal passion: Muay Thai kickboxing. She said the discipline has helped her stay physically fit and mentally focused while balancing the demands of recording and touring.
With the album’s rollout, the tour, and her burgeoning interest in combat sport, Laila aims to make 2026 a breakthrough year, positioning herself as a rising voice in contemporary pop and R&B.
