Hailing from Montreal, singer/songwriter laye unveils her latest gem, unhappier, a melancholic alt pop anthem and the third single from her upcoming EP. Co-written with Cici Ward and Oscar Neidhardt, the song’s exquisite chorus showcases laye’s finest vocal performance to date. Meticulously produced, every nuance shines without drowning in excess. The accompanying video captures the poignant realization of losing a present relationship, blending heartbreak and love in a symphony of emotions. As laye’s artistry blossoms, unhappier stands as a testament to her evocative storytelling and sonic prowess.
“‘unhappier’ is a breakup song written from the perspective of someone who really doesn’t wish that person well. At the root of it, though, it’s still a love song. You love that person so much that you can’t yet wish them well. So many songs are either all about ‘I love you’ or all about ‘I hate you,’ but it’s also true to the human experience to feel different and sometimes contradictory things at the same time. So, this song lies somewhere in between.” – laye
