Jayla Darden Announces Highly Anticipated EP MOMENTUM

Two-time Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, and engineer Jayla Darden is reclaiming her spotlight with the upcoming release of her much-anticipated EP, MOMENTUM, dropping December 6. The project marks a bold return for the Detroit native, who is shifting her focus back to her artistry after years of working behind the scenes as a writer and producer for some of music’s biggest names.

Inspired by her journey of self-discovery and creative renewal, MOMENTUM represents Jayla’s deliberate transition from the background to center stage. Known for her velvety, feel-good R&B sound and meticulous production style, Jayla’s latest project promises to captivate listeners with its authenticity and emotional depth.

“This project is about regaining momentum as an artist and taking purposeful steps to reclaim the driver’s seat of my journey,” says Jayla.

Jayla Darden’s impressive resume includes credits on Future’s Grammy-nominated album I Never Liked You (“Love You Better”) as a producer, composer, and lyricist. She also contributed to Childish Gambino’s latest project, Bando Stone and the New World, earning co-producer, writer, and background vocalist credits on tracks such as “In the Night”. With additional collaborations with Sinead Harnett, Andra Day, and NBA 2K, Jayla has cemented her place as a multifaceted creative force in the industry.

• After signing with Interscope Records and releasing her acclaimed EP Onto Something, Jayla shifted gears during the pandemic, signing a publishing deal with Sony and dedicating herself to producing and writing for others. Now independent, she is embracing her own artistic path once again, blending her influences—Missy Elliott, Brandy, and Frank Ocean—into a sound that is uniquely hers.

The release of MOMENTUM will be accompanied by stunning visuals, building anticipation for Jayla’s forthcoming full-length album in 2025. With this new chapter, Jayla Darden is poised to remind the world why she is one of the most compelling voices in R&B.
