LAILA! and Teezo Touchdown Link Up for the Sun-Drenched New Single “ANGEL”

If you’ve been keeping up with modern R&B and pop over the last couple of years, you already know LAILA! is doing things entirely on her terms. The Brooklyn-born singer, songwriter, and producer has quietly built an massive following—pulling in over 300 million streams—by making music that feels deeply personal, effortlessly cool, and fiercely independent.

Now, she’s back with “ANGEL” a sun-soaked new drop via three times LOUDER/Warner Records that features a brilliant guest turn from genre-fluid icon Teezo Touchdown.

Stepping Behind the Board

What makes “ANGEL” stand out isn’t just the catchy hook—it’s the creative milestone behind it. LAILA! is known for building her tracks from the ground up, but this release marks the first time she has stepped behind the boards to lead-produce for another artist on one of her own tracks.

Working alongside Tyler Cole on string arrangements, she shapes a rich, buttery production that gives Teezo plenty of room to lean into his signature theatrical flair. The contrast between LAILA!‘s airy, hypnotic vocal runs and Teezo’s charismatic delivery turns the track into an instant earworm.

To match the breezy energy of the song, the official music video takes things down to St. Thomas. Directed as a vibrant tropical escape, the visual follows the pair through sun-drenched hillside streets and golden-hour waterfronts, keeping the vibe relaxed, stylish, and entirely unbothered.

Keeping the Momentum Rolling

“ANGEL” arrives right on the heels of a massive wave for the young artist. Fresh off earning her second consecutive spot on Billboard’s 21 Under 21, LAILA! is steadily proving that her breakout success wasn’t just a moment—it’s the start of a long-term rule.

It also follows her stellar debut album, Gap Year!, which caught critical love from outlets like Pitchfork, Complex, and VIBE, alongside viral smashes like “Like That!” and “Not My Problem”.
