At first glance, it’s easy to assume that awfultune is prone to making music that comes across as dreary or full of rubbish – it’s in the name. But names can be deceiving, as we all know. Since 2018, Layla Eden, also known as awfultune, has released tons of hits that listeners can’t get enough of, like “i met sarah in the bathroom” and “sad love song.” awfultune has also amassed over 400 million global streams, proving that their tunes are anything but foul. Let’s see if awfultune can get that number up to one billion, starting with “weird!”
Quirky and endearing, “weird!” captures what it means to completely fall for someone. Keeping things minimal with acoustic-driven melodies, awfultune puts their feelings out on the table. They give us charming lines like, “I feel so awkward when I’m not near you / I felt that way for like a couple years too” and “This song sounds like garbage to me / But you’re all that I want,” making it an honest snapshot of young love. It can be weird to love someone, to do whatever to be there for that person, but awfultune makes it sound totally normal. You can check it out below.
About the single, awfultune shares,
“‘weird!’ is the love song of the EP. I wanted a drunken, straight from the heart, stream of consciousness about feeling like you’re falling in love with your best friend.”
“weird!” is from awfultune’s upcoming EP, unreleased demos ii, to be released in the spring. It is a follow-up to unreleased demos, which was released in 2019.
You can listen to “weird!” on platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, and SoundCloud.
