Now hailing from South-London, ayla isha is an artist of many backgrounds. From Japan, to Cuba, to England and beyond, her music contains hints of the world she has seen and heard.
Rising from the cracks in a time of great divide, "Si Tu Lo Quieres/Together We Rise" is a soulful anthem dedicated to the importance of community. The song is wrapped in layers of harmonies and rhythm, nurtured by many hands to create the all-encompassing sound that we hear today.
The title and hook of the song, translated to "if you want it, together we rise" is reflected by the collaborative nature of the song. Along with Fusional Mind, Ivan Guardiola, and Destra Orsheena, isha combines the sounds of Jazz funk, Afrobeats, and even Cuban Conga drums. The richness of her voice is highlighted with the bright instrumentation, and all together the track is a seamless blend of the numerous influences.
The inspiration and hope she unveils in this song serves as a beacon, displaying the type of strength we can achieve through unity. With such a strong versatility this early in her career, she's definitely an artist to watch out for.
