Influenced by Namika, Erykah Badu, Stromae, Nura. Leya Zahiri was raised in a Frankfurt apartment that smelled of her Moroccan father's tagine and was decorated with her German mother's Bauhaus prints. At 17, a diagnosis changed the map of her life, and she began writing songs on a vintage Wurlitzer—her body’s secrets becoming her lyrics. With her partner Leo, a physiotherapist who helps her navigate the realities of life with a chronic illness, she creates a defiant, joyful Afro-German pop that finds its rhythm in the space between two cultures and the strength in fragility.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Steh an der Niddabrücke, es ist 03:17 Uhr.
Sorry, ich… ich weiß, du schläfst. Wahrscheinlich.
Der kalte Stahl vom Geländer brennt auf meiner Haut.
Jedes Gelenk in mir ein rostiges Scharnier, viel zu laut.

[Chorus]
Sag, weißt du noch, wie kalt die Nidda war im Juli?
Als wir dachten, Unsterblichkeit wär' nur ein Wort für Idioten?

[Verse 2]
„Das ist doch lange her“, hast du am Telefon gesagt.
Dein Echo schmeckt bitterer als abgestandener Nana-Tee.
Hör die letzte U4 nach Bockenheim vorbeirattern.
Hab versucht, dein Lachen aus meinen Rippen zu kratzen.

[Chorus]
Sag, weißt du noch, wie kalt die Nidda war im Juli?
Als wir dachten, Unsterblichkeit wär' nur ein Wort für Idioten?

[Bridge]
Du baust deine Zukunft auf unserem alten Fundament.
Und tust so, als hätt' mein Gerüst für dich nie gebrannt.

[Outro]
Verdammt… ruf mich einfach nicht zurück.
