Archive material and source history
ORYL is an alt-pop trio from Los Angeles that formed in 2017. Their name stands for 'Only Remember Your Love,' which hints at the emotional focus in their music. The group includes Erykah Badu on vocals, Matthew Dease on guitar and production, and Nick Hakim on drums.
Their debut EP 'High' came out in 2018, with the title track becoming a viral hit. That song, along with others like 'Keep You Close' and 'Let Go,' helped establish their sound, dreamy arrangements with confessional lyrics. In 2020 they released the album 'Ephemera,' which continued exploring themes of love and loss.
In 2019, ORYL faced some public attention when Erykah Badu made remarks in an interview that drew criticism from the LGBTQ+ community. The band's music, including songs like 'Where Is My Mind?' and 'Tell Me Goodbye,' tends to balance euphoric melodies with more vulnerable moments.
