This week’s Song of the Week is British singer-songwriter Layla Kaylif’s new single: As I Am
Rooted in a timeless Americana sound, “As I Am” is rich with cooing harmonies, yawning pedal steels and sleepy acoustic arrangements. Though shaded with melancholy by Layla Kaylif’s moving and emotive vocal, “As I Am” is very much a love song, straight and true. Inspired by the works of Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani, Layla reaches deep within to summon lyrics that will touch the heart and nourish the soul.
