Leila has also shared an accompanying video which you can watch below.
Touching on ‘Discoball’, Leila mentioned:
“I was walking down a beach in Spain for hours and my face was blinded by the sun. I kept thinking that it was like a disco ball in the way as it’s the centre of all the movement of the world. I wanted to write a song in honour of hope; with empowerment and reclamation there must be hope. I find the world at times to be an incredibly cynical and ironic place, and the art I connect with the most I find usually has sincerity at the heart of it. I also think something radical about sincerity in a world where post modernity and the digital world as a reductive expression of the self are so culturally conscious. The song is also a love letter to music and my own relationship and complexities with it. It’s about letting go, catharsis and destiny.”
