Leila breaks into 2020 with a new EP that proves yet again, she won’t allow herself to be boxed into just one genre or style of music. The new release, flowers, or die, explores the nuances of singer-songwriter territories, while breaking away from the generic form that this style of music is often critiqued for. In an EP that folds together four lilting, keyboard driven-protest songs, Leila manages to showcase a kaleidoscope of ideas that simply must be listened to on repeat.
In celebration of the ‘flowers, or die’ release, Lauren Vanzandt-Escobar has created a limited series of one-off hand-made paper with embedded and collaged etchings in Veracruz, Mexico.
All proceeds from the album will go to the clean-energy charity 350.org.
