Grammy nominated vocalist HAYLA teams up with multi-platinum icon Nelly Furtado for the release of their haunting new single, “FADED.” The track combines an electronic atmosphere with emotional storytelling, opening with an ethereal vocal performance that leads into a raw and infectious chorus. This collaboration captures the heartbreak of a fading connection through the palpable chemistry between both artists. HAYLA explains that the song focuses on the weight of unrequited love and the feeling of being under a self-imposed love spell. The record highlights a blend of soaring vocals and signature warmth, creating a cinematic experience for the listener.
HAYLA shares that the song is about when you have started to become infatuated with someone. She explains that the feelings take over as if under a love spell, but it is a spell you have cast on yourself. “They were the spark that lit the match. When the other person’s gone you still feel the weight of their presence. It’s infatuation and unrequited love,” HAYLA adds. Nelly Furtado shares that HAYLA is one of her favorite singers and that she has literally covered her tracks live because she finds her vocals and her songwriting so authentic, passionate, inspiring, and otherworldly. “When she invited me on this track I jumped at the opportunity because it has that classic HAYLA aura,” Furtado shares.
