iyla Releases New Single “Overboard”

Rising R&B/Soul singer iyla returns today with her first offering of new music in 2025, in the form of the refreshingly hypnotic “Overboard.” 
 
“Got you floating up defying gravity. No need to talk about it, no we don’t waste time. Fingers tips they dancing on my waist line,” she coos over pulsating beats, before taking it to the chorus, “I’m gon’ have you begging me for more. Tell me are you sure? Begging me for more. Ready to go overboard. Imma have you begging me for more.” Describing the new track, iyla reveals, “’Overboard’ is a soulful vocal rollercoaster that exudes sexiness and confidence that splashes you in the face.”

Overboard” follows the release of last year’s “Strut,”  an in your face, no holds barred banger, hailed by Rated R&B as “a much-needed bounce-back anthem,” with VIBE proclaiming, “in the world of blue-eyed soul, iyla is back,” calling the song “a bold contrast from her ballad, ‘Blue Eyes,’ iyla’s beautiful and emotional ballad, released one year after the passing of her beloved mother and best friend, following a hard-fought eighteen month battle with cancer. The official music video for “Blue Eyes,” directed by iylaincorporates nostalgic snippets from childhood videos and sees iyla paying tribute to her mother, tossing roses into the ocean, in a beautiful, heart-wrenching homage.
