Laila! explained the meaning behind her album title Instagram last month (August 19). “I'm not sure if you know this, but I basically graduated a year early from high school (my freshman year) and had no plans for college,” she wrote. “Honestly, I just wasn't taking it seriously, so I decided to take a GAP YEAR (thankfully my mom didn't freak out), which will mark a school year on the day my album comes out… This album is a collection of what made during this year of being out in the real world doing what I love. it's so, so personal and dear to me, so I really pray you all like it.”
It will be her first show later this month in her hometown of Brooklyn at Baby's All Right on Friday, September 20th.
