LYZA JANE shares new single “Everyday” and delivers intimate vibrations across her new trip-hop EP “SOMETHING IN THE RYE”
Rising London artist and creative Lyza Jane delivers her stunning EP Something In The Rye – released via BMG.
Conjuring an enigmatic, midnight sound, Something In The Rye EP emerges as a capsule into the mind of Lyza Jane; a rich sonic journey balancing upper-echelon R&B and trip-hop alongside Lyza’s hedonistic commentary elevated through love, intimacy and the wonders of existence. Delivering a statement on power and vulnerability, the EP looks set to continue the growing attention around Lyza as one of the UK’s most exciting new voices.
Commanding attention from the offset with lead track “Everyday”, Lyza’s smoky vocals shine front and centre as she effortlessly glides over breezy synths and thumping drum breaks produced by Hyroglifics. The purities in her cadence are contrasted only by the melancholic emotions faced when losing touch with something you love – a complex limbo that transforms vulnerable affirmations into something inspired and universal. Paired with a VHS music video directed by Jasmine De Silva, “Everyday” showcases Lyza’s growing influence while empowering listeners who seek solace in their creative journeys.

Steadily manoeuvring through drunken, hazy explorations of love on “Falling Like”, we reach the apex of her psychedelic musical makeup across the powerful “Up Above”, the tenderness of “With Ease” and the blossoming soul scape “Last One Up”, closing out the EP in the purest state of self-realisation as she pleads: “Times up, I can feel me giving up // Never enough.”
Lyza Jane has been surrounded by music culture from an early age. Born in London, Lyza moved to Somerset where she earned valuable insights into the creative arts in the company of her stepfather. Moving back to the capital at 18, the young talent became a backing singer for South London’s Alabama 3, where she continued to develop her vibrant artistry in their infamous studio above Brixton Jamm.
Following a pivotal performance at Glastonbury, Lyza shifted focus onto producing, recording and writing her own records while quietly earning stripes alongside alt-rap label Blah Records. With a stream of additive releases under her belt incl. Baby Blue Champion EP, the Londoner unleashed her debut album HOUSEBOUND, featuring UK favourites Lee Scott and Black Josh – establishing her presence across the underground. Performing with Cult Of The Damned across the UK from Thekla Bristol to the iconic Fabric London, Lyza would later release her incendiary cut “For Your Eyes Only” in 2023, a rare link-up featuring LA rapper Vel Nine and Birmingham star Jaydonclover.
Now with an atmospheric, standout body of work promising a slew of new material and critical attention from the likes of BBC R1 to NOTION, Lyza Jane is showing the hallmarks of a significant and affective new voice and creative mind coming into her own.
