ABOUT LAYLA

Give award winning vocalist Layla Zoe a stage, and she’ll show you magic. In a world of choreography and autotune, this is one performer who does it the old-fashioned way, digging deep, summoning a smoke-and-whisky vocal, leaving it all on the stage and sending breathless fans out into the night to spread the word. “For me,” says Layla, “there is nothing as satisfying as being on stage with my band, giving my heart to the fans, through music. I like to write songs, I enjoy being in the studio, but the live shows are the reason I love my job so much."

“She’s created probably the biggest buzz vocally of any singer I’ve heard about in years in Toronto." - Jeff Healey

Layla Zoe - Turn This Into Gold

Album: Gemini | Official Website: https://www.layla.ca/ | Lyrics: I've got this cold, cold feeling, deep down inside my bones. I don't know where I fit in, oh lord, where do I belong? I made my bed out here, but where is this? Where is my one true home? I'm in a strange country and I keep searching, for someone to hear my song. But this living so far away from my friends and family, sure got me feeling wrong. Don't you know how I miss them everyday. But I try to walk the way of the good woman. I try to walk the way of the good friend. I try to walk the way of a good person, but I feel so all alone inside my head. So all alone. So alone I don't know what I said to hurt you. What I did to make you cry. I don't know how you thought you were in the right, to stab me in the eye. But now I got this sad, sad, sad feeling, and for me now this is getting pretty old. You're sending me a bad, bad feeling, turning my blood cold. But gonna take these bad vibes you're throwing at me. Mm hm. I'm gonna turn them into gold. Turn them into gold, I'm gonna turn them into gold. I try to walk the way of a good woman. I try to walk the way of a good friend. I try to walk the way of a good person. But if you gonna fucking cross me, then it's the end. 'Cause I got no time for that. I got no time for that. I got no time for that. Only you know what you said to me. Only you know how you behaved. It wasn't right, it wasn't wrong, I only know it keeps going round in my head. What are we supposed to do now baby? There's some words you can't take back. There's some things you can't take back. In my head I catch this feeling, it's so cold. You're sending me these bad vibes. But, I swear I'm gonna turn them into gold. I'm gonna turn them into gold, turn them into gold. I try to walk the way of a good woman. I try to walk the way of a good friend. I try to walk the way of a good person, but if you ain't gonna be good to me, then you ain't no friend. I gotta walk now. I gotta walk now. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, but I gotta walk now. I gotta turn this into gold. Give @LaylaZoeMusic stage and she’ll show you magic.

Available on all streaming and download sites as well as physical copies on September 29th, 2023 online and at www.layla.ca "The Canadian singer Layla Zoe is probably the best blues rock singer of our time. Layla Zoe delivers a fantastic vocal performance; she is one of the few singers who can convey her entire inner life through her songs. From gentle whispers to total outbursts, she puts everything into her songs. The band plays virtuoso and soulful and breathes soul into the songs. Anyone who likes handmade, honest and sensitive rock music will love the album." - Darkstars (Germany) LAYLA ZOE & BAND "Into The Blue“ Tour 2024 15.03.2024 DE-Wredenhagen, Café Scheune 16.03.2024 DE-Nordhausen, Clubhaus Nordhausen 19.03.2024 DE-Bremen, Meisenfrei 21.03.2024 DE-Halle, Objekt5 22.03.2024 DE-Bielefeld, Jazzclub 23.03.2024 DE-Wiltingen, Bürgerhaus 25.03.2024 DE-Wetzlar, Kulturzentrum Franzis 26.03.2024 DE-Ansbach, Kammerspiele 27.03.2024 DE-Bonn, Harmonie 28.03.2024 DE-Rüsselsheim, Das Rind 29.03.2024 BE-Verviers, Spirit of 66 04.10.2024 DE-Berlin, Quasimodo 05.10.2024 DE-Isernhagen, Blues Garage 15.10.2024 DE-Fürth, Kofferfabrik 16.10.2024 DE-Erfurt, Museumskeller 18.10.2024 DE-Dortmund, Musiktheater Piano 19.10.2024 NL-Tilburg, Hayhoef-Backstage 25.10.2024 LU-Luxembourg, Sang & Klang 31.10.2024 CH-Geneva, Bag Blues 01.11.2024 CH-Chur, ICT Atelier 02.11.2024 DE-Habach, Village
