Ayla is an Australian eighteen-year-old girl. “Wish I Was” is her debut single.
It began as a poem written while hidden in the forest, on the property where Ayla grew up, to escape the world while listening to birds and silence. It’s about wanting to escape, like those times where you feel a little out of your mind.
“Wish I Was” is a stellar first offering, a talented natural jazzy voice for a catchy and wonderful pop tune. It’s a journey into Ayla’s deepest thoughts about feelings.
The single has been immediately added to strong rotation on Triple J, one of the biggest Australian networks. Ayla is often linked to artists such as: Norah Jones, Joni Mitchell, Sarah Blasko, Missy Higgins and Lorde.
Let’s see what happens with this talented and celestial singer.
“No one is happy all the time, and when I wrote this song, I was in a place where I no longer wanted to exist in my own mind or body - so, not a great place. But I find music, poetry and other forms of art, are fantastic ways to progress through those periods of time. When you can express the way you are feeling in a materialistic way, I find it helps you to analyse and improve your situation”. less
