Tayla Parx & NAYEON (TWICE), Era (Remix) [📷: TaylaMade / Venice Music]Pop/R&B singer-songwriter Tayla Parks reignites her ‘era’ with the banging “Era (Remix)” featuring NAYEON of TWICE.

“I’m in my uh-uh era / I’m in my ‘fuck it’ era / I’m in my mm-hmm, I already had that era.” Woo! There is some truth that Tayla Parks, indeed, ‘already had that era.’ “Era” (the song) was released in June 2024, featuring Tkay Maidza.  A year later, she unveils “Era (Remix)” featuring NAYEON of TWICE.  The song may be familiar, but this remix is dope. The chorus, excerpted above, and performed by Parx, is the sugar honey iced tea – blunt, catchy, and tuneful to the nth degree. Parx continues singing, “My one-two step, Ciara / Booked and busy era / I’m in my mm-hmm, uh-huh, in my best me era.” Damn right, Tayla.

Parks goes on to drop a sickening first verse, continuing to bring attitude, confidence, and ample energy.  Her assertiveness is a big reason for the song’s success. Also, the rhythmic melody is #winning, too!  NAYEON matches her energy in the second verse singing, “Brick by brick, I’m feeling limitless, the way I flip the screen / Just know you ain’t seen nothing yet.” She concludes the verse, singing, “I’m still tryna take my own advice / Still do it better every time / So, who gon’ check me? Yeah.” Beyond strong vocals, the musical backdrop (Parx and xSDTRK) hits hard, too. Those bombastic, hard-hitting drums set the musical tone.  “Era” may be ‘old,’ but this “Era (Remix)” slaps, NO CAP!
