Speaking about the incredibly emotional track, Emily said:
‘Layla’s family and I would like to raise more awareness of neuroblastoma, which is a childhood cancer, and help raise funds for other families that are currently going through this horrible time. Layla was such a joy to us all and her love for music was so inspiring at such a young age.’
All proceeds raised from the single release will go towards Neuroblastoma UK, a charity which works at finding a cure for the disease, while also working on effective treatments to help those with neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma is an aggressive form of childhood cancer, with 1 in 6 of all children’s cancer deaths attributed to it.
For more information on the work of Neuroblastoma UK, you can visit their website: www.neuroblastoma.org.uk.
‘She was like a butterfly, delicate and so sweet,
A perfect little heartbeat.’
Talented singer-songwriter Emily Middlemas is best known for appearing on the thirteenth series of ‘The X Factor,’ finishing in fourth place. Following a successful stint on the show, Emily went on to release her debut single in September 2017 and embarked on her debut headline tour around the UK and Ireland throughout September, October and November 2017.
‘Layla’ is an extremely emotional and moving track, which will no doubt help to keep Layla’s memory alive through the years. The track also showcases Emily’s incredible song-writing abilities and her phenomenal vocals.
‘She was too precious for the world,
So she was taken from us all, to be protected.’
