Alya – “Glitter & Gold (Remix)” feat. Lifesize Teddy
On the empowering Afro-pop track, Alya and Lifesize Teddy provoke thoughtful reflection as they speak on the importance of self-love. The single serves as a reminder that not everything shiny is worth holding on to.
About the collaboration, Alya shares, “When I first met Teddy, it felt like reconnecting with a childhood friend I hadn’t seen in years. It was amazing! Shooting the visualizer only brought us closer, allowing us to collaborate and truly enjoy the incredible song we created together.”
“I heard it one time and was so jealous I didn’t come up with it,” says Lifesize Teddy on the original version of the song. “It’s so beautifully written, I had to have a part in it. Because the story is one, I’m very familiar with, it was pretty seamless to connect. I had my verse written and recorded so quickly!”
Alya – “Glitter & Gold” Original Version
The original version of “Glitter & Gold” was featured on Spotify’s ‘NMF UAE,’ Apple Music’s ‘New in Afrobeats,’ and TIDAL’s ‘New Arrivals: Pop’ editorial playlists in addition to earning notable media support. It invites listeners to dance to its infectious rhythm while its relatable lyrics navigate the complexities of romance against a father’s cautionary tales.
