Singaporean alt-pop musician LAYYI has just released her special collaboration with the one and only Dia Maté, with the song titled “SOUR GRAPE.”
“SOUR GRAPE” sees the two musical femme fatales flipping the script of post-breakup bitterness into a moment of pop catharsis — one that sees both of them at their most cheeky and empowered. On the track, the duo takes aim at the familiar spectacle of an ex spinning their own version of the story. Because instead of pleading their case or chasing closure, LAYYI and Dia Maté lean into the absurdity of the situation, calling out the half-truths, melodramatic retellings and sympathy-grabbing narratives that conveniently cast them as the villain.
Built on punchy pop production and a sing-along-ready hook, “SOUR GRAPE” plays with a sly sense of humor as the pair trade sharp lines and confident swagger. The result is a playful but pointed anthem about reclaiming your side of the story — not through confrontation, but by letting their confidence do all the talking.
Together with the track’s release, a special music visualizer directed by Arvin Santos was also dropped on LAYYI’s official YouTube channel. Check it out below:
“SOUR GRAPES” serves as the second single off LAYYI’s debut album, Love (?), with its other single “I JUST CUT MY HAIR” being dropped on the same day as the collaboration track. It also marks Maté’s latest collaboration, following the release of her holiday single, “This Christmas (Ho Ho Ho),” with Philippine pop culture icon Rufa Mae Quinto.
