About Ivory Layne:
Ivory Layne may be young, but her music is that of an old soul. Layne started songwriting at age six and by her teenage years had taught herself music production, working from her bedroom and posting demos online until she caught the attention of Grammy award-winning producer, Ed Cash (Dolly Parton, Amy Grant). The two wrote, produced, and released her first EP, Volume One.

The critical acclaim and industry buzz following Ivory’s debut EP led to her inking a publishing deal with LBK Entertainment,  joining a stellar cast of Nashville’s finest writers and producers in the studio (from Jimmy Robbins and Shane McAnally to Lori McKenna) and working with London based producer Liam Howe (Lana Del Rey, Marina and the Diamonds, FKA Twigs, Tom Vek)​. Her sharpness in the writer's room in turn landed her two global ad campaigns, including one for prestigious jewellery house Swarovski and another for cable giant, HBO. It also gave her opportunities to collaborate with artists such as Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness and Needtobreathe. While the likes of Matt Nathanson, Andy Grammar, Ben Rector, and The Script enlisted her to support them on tour.

Between her own work and co- writes, Ivory Layne’s well-rounded skill-set attracted the attention of global superstar, Justin Timberlake, who signed her to his artist development company, Villa40. Since signing Ivory has been hard at work crafting her next project with production duo Nick Atkinson and Edd Holloway (Lewis Capaldi, James Bay), and she is now set to release her forthcoming EP, Confetti. Displaying remarkable brilliance as well as inspiring vulnerability and candour on every new offering, 2020 is sure to be the year that rising powerhouse Ivory Layne leaves her mark.

December Lyrics
Written by Ivory Layne, Nick Atkinson, and Edd Holloway

The sun was high and all the days were long
No heavy notes inside those summer songs
Yeah we were living like we’d last for life
Till I closed my eyes

The leaves are falling faster than my dreams
Screaming in colors of uncertainty
And nothing lasts forever, this i know
I can’t always hold on

We all have seasons
To help our hearts reset
And I’m sinking deeper
To catch my breath

I’M IN MY DECEMBER
I’M IN MY DECEMBER
IT’S HARD TO REMEMBER LOWS
CAN MAKE ME WHOLE
IT’S ONLY HEAVY FOR SO LONG
I’M IN MY DECEMBER
I’M IN MY DECEMBER

Try to surrender to the freezing rain
Accepting everything that I can’t change
No winter is eternal this I know
Yeah blooms will follow

We all have seasons
To help our hearts reset
And I’m sinking deeper
To catch my breath

I’M IN MY DECEMBER
I’M IN MY DECEMBER
IT’S HARD TO REMEMBER LOWS
CAN MAKE ME WHOLE
IT’S ONLY HEAVY FOR SO LONG
I’M IN MY DECEMBER
I’M IN MY DECEMBER
IT’S HARD TO REMEMBER LOWS
CAN MAKE ME WHOLE
IT’S ONLY HEAVY FOR SO LONG

Nothing lasts forever
Forever, Forever
I'm in my December, December

I’M IN MY DECEMBER
I’M IN MY DECEMBER
IT’S HARD TO REMEMBER LOWS
CAN MAKE ME WHOLE
IT’S ONLY HEAVY FOR SO LONG
I’M IN MY DECEMBER
I’M IN MY DECEMBER
I’M IN MY DECEMBER
I’M IN MY DECEMBER
December
