We met up with Laila! at her home studio to talk about her upcoming sophomore album 'We'll Never Be This Young Again'. Laila changed the game with her debut album 'Gap Year', and she's now stepping into a new era of her artistry.

In this interview, we discuss how her production has evolved, what artists and sounds have been inspiring her in the process, the making of her singles "Miss Mango" and "Anything Could Happen", how Solange inspired her to produce an album that flows with seamless transitions, who she dreams of collaborating with, and so much more.

Thank you to miss Baby Genius for sitting down with us and having this beautiful conversation! Her sophomore album 'We'll Never Be This Young Again' drops on October 23rd, 2026.
