A decade and a half in the making, The Long Ride is Lyla Rae’s first album. Born from melodies she carried long before she had the stage to sing them, these songs trace the long road between who we were and who we become. It’s the sound of late-night highways, unfinished letters, and the kind of stories that grow with you while you’re busy living them.

This captures Lyla at her most honest—restless heart, steel-string soul, and that quiet grit that’s made her voice feel like folklore. The Long Ride isn’t just an album. It’s the journey she’s been on for years finally finding its own horizon.
