Press Quotes
A rising star
— BC Music Magazine
Dazzling playing - which, despite drawing inspiration from Eastern traditions - stems from a contemporary approach that is rich of countless colors.
—Maazef Magazine
Layale's music is pervaded by the melancholy and the intensity of Fado... Incredible energy.
—Osnabrucker Zeitung
Virtuosic and delicate all at once
—Jazzethetik
A beguiling debut that intertwines the bright and beautiful strands of her musical life so far: Western classical music, jazz, and the rich legacy of Arab music and poetry ... gorgeous
—NPR Music
A haunting yet quietly rigorous album that integrates the disparate parts of her identity as a composer, performer and improviser who tiptoes along cultural fault lines.
