Zoe, Layla
Gemini
If you havent experienced Layla Zoe live on stage, youve missed something akin to magic, something that drips with deep emotion, raw pain, and power. Youve missed the rightfully nicknamed "Firegirl", do what she does best. Layla admits, "The studio is not my comfort zone. I love to feel the energy of the audience, live on stage." But this new double album recorded in Bonn, Germany with her longtime guitarist Jan Laacks, might be the exception. Its the first time Layla has felt truly comfortable in the studio. "I had this need to break away from the record labels this time, and try going it on my own again. I knew I wanted to do this theme for the album because it had been a dream of mine for years, to show the acoustic and fragile side of my voice and personality, and also showcase the fiery and courageous electric side of my songwriting and vocal ability. My guitarist Jan Laacks and I have worked together for years, he produced the album and I knew he would bring something special to the music on the new album. Also he is a gemini!"
