HAYLA’s “Freefall” Is an Ode to Love’s Most Precarious Moments: Listen
In a daring artistic dive, HAYLA embraces the tumultuous descent of love's uncertainty in her latest single, "Freefall."
Collaborating with Grammy-nominated producer Carl Ryden, her latest release marks a significant step in her journey as she embarks on her debut album cycle, with an exciting Los Angeles debut performance set for this December.
Lyrically, "Freefall" is a rollercoaster that mirrors the emotional highs and lows of a relationship on the brink. The song opens with rhythmic, percolating basslines that set the stage for HAYLA's powerful vocals, weaving a narrative of wanting to let go yet feeling irresistibly drawn back. Her lyrics echo the sobering realization that sometimes, no matter how hard you try, some things are just meant to fall apart.
As the track progresses, its high-energy production beams to the forefront. Melodic synth leads shimmer through a tense mix, like finding fleeting moments of clarity in a rocky relationship. In the crescendoing chorus, HAYLA's voice soars above a melodic techno-inspired sequence.
The intimate song, HAYLA says, was born from a personal place of realization.
"This song's story happens after the love has gone—when the realization hits that no matter how hard you try to make something work you can’t," she reflects in a press release shared with EDM.com. "The chorus, however, asks the question of gravitational pull… maybe in another time it would bring you back together."
"Freefall" is the final solo single to release from HAYLA's upcoming debut album, which she said will release sometime in November. You can find the track on streaming platforms here.
