Hot on the heels of her latest release ‘You’, Layla Kardan shares her brand new dark single ‘No Place‘
In her new single, ‘No Place‘ Layla continues exploring the darkest angles of an unhealthy relationship, where she recently released single You served as an initiation to her empowering journey of loss-love and self-discovery, the new single is a poignant deep dive into a loveless relationship, in which Layla’s soulful vocals and vivid lyrics deliver another emotional blow.
Reflecting on the song Layla says No Place is dedicated to all my ex-boyfriends who were too afraid of losing control and share their emotions but chose instead to control the narrative by keeping the relationship’s existence only on the surface while projecting their insecurities.
