Tom Wills and Sholz-Y transform “LAID” into a bold dance anthem

Tom Wills teams up with producer Sholz-Y for a brilliant reworking of "LAID," turning the iconic indie classic into a dance-pop anthem fit for late-night playlists as easily as festival speakers alike. The song also retains the '90s alternative feel, produced by Sholz-Y, that bridges the best of contemporary electronic pop.

"LAID" is a dreamy favorite for Tom Wills, something he grew up with and later heard performed live alongside his father, adding an emotional depth that extends naturally to this version. Wills reinvents the classic, making it vibrant, personal, and culturally significant.

The track finds a thoughtful balance that makes the song's elements identity, freedom, and self display all relevant. One of the most thrilling aspects about this release is how brazenly it owns the queer subtext that has always existed in the song. Tom Wills channels that energy effortlessly with a reimagined version of "LAID" that feels genuine.

"LAID" is a fresh perspective, an adorable crossroads that speaks to memories while keeping its eyes squarely on the future for lovers of indie-pop reimagined, queer dance music, and emotive electronic production. Tom Wills and Sholz-Y have created their own version, repackaging it for a new generation.
