alayna – Mother’s Mother: 13th Floor New Song Of The Day

After delighting followers on social media with hints of new music on the way, alayna has revealed an exquisite new single Mother’s Mother.

Here is the blurb with more:

The critically acclaimed singer and songwriter, invites listeners to join her growing global community – one grounded in sincerity and gentleness. Mother’s Mother is a deeply personal ode to matriarchy, symbolising the start of a new era in alayna’s already remarkable journey.

“As I evolve further into my womanhood, it’s become glaringly obvious to me that this beautiful life I get to live is largely because of all the decisions, sacrifices and courageous moves my lineage and ancestry has made,” says alayna.

“I come from an incredible line of brave, bold, big-dreaming and loving women. They are a large part of the cultivation and nourishment of the soil, the planting of the seeds in my life – my ‘garden’ that is now blooming. ‘Mother’s Mother’ is honouring them, an appreciation and celebration of all these women in my life, and promising to continue the love that they planted.”

Wrapped in delicate soul and R&B, ‘Mother’s Mother’ showcases alayna’s songwriting prowess and her ability to delve into feelings deeply personal to her, while connecting on an intimate level with listeners.

Known for her evocative vocals and ability to craft deeply resonant songs, alayna continues to grow a global community – one grounded in honesty, softness, and strength. With a new chapter unfolding through cinematic visuals, intimate storytelling, and a creative shift toward connection, alayna’s next body of work opens a door to something expansive, yet deeply personal: a mirror held gently up to all of us.

‘Mother’s Mother’ marks a new chapter for alayna, who has quietly amassed a global fanbase; all the while clocking up tens of millions of streams along the way.

“My world is getting wider, my wisdom is expanding, and with that, so is my heart and appreciation. It honestly knocks me over at times about this privilege I have been gifted. I did not get here on my own!”

Co-written in Los Angeles with her good friend Chelsea Lena, alongside producer V RON and later joined by NZ-based Ben Malone for additional co-production; the poignant messages in ‘Mother’s Mother’ are conveyed in a cinematic video showing the familiar rituals of the mother and daughter relationship.

The accompanying music video was filmed, directed and edited by Westall Road – the creative partnership of Auckland’s Marlan Prabahar and Laila Ben-Brahim.

Mother’s Mother follows the release of alayna’s 2023 debut album SELF PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN UNRAVELLING, which wowed fans and critics alike.
