BABY QUEEN today shares her new single ‘Quarter Life Crisis’, which arrives in the lead up to the release of her eagerly awaited debut album of the same name.
The title track, ‘Quarter Life Crisis’, stemmed from a conversation Baby Queen – aka 25 year old Bella Latham – had with her cousin’s girlfriend. “I felt like I had so much responsibility, but I still felt like a child. I was talking about how I felt, and she said the phrase, quarter life crisis.” Baby Queen looked up the phrase and felt validated: “People have this experience where you’re looking both forward and back. It’s the realisation that actually, you can’t mess around anymore. Fucking around finally comes to an end.” So, in songwriter Max Wolfgang’s flat, the pair wrote the song together. It has, what Bella calls, “a creepy nursery rhyme vibe”, both catchy and foreboding. “I feel like my mind is 25-sided / I’ll let you know if I ever survive this,” she sings prophetically.
Baby Queen’s debut album ‘Quarter Life Crisis’ is set for release on October 6th via Polydor Records. ‘Quarter Life Crisis’ features 12 tracks, including previously released singles ‘Dream Girl’, ‘We Can Be Anything’ and ‘All The Things’ and was produced by long-time Baby Queen collaborator King Ed. ‘Quarter Life Crisis’ is available in multiple formats including CD, a deluxe CD featuring limited edition artwork from Heartstopper creator Alice Oseman and coloured vinyl.
Baby Queen contributed six songs to the soundtrack of the new series of the global smash Netflix show Heartstopper, which launched on August 3rd. The new series also features a cameo appearance from Baby Queen aka 23-year-old Bella Latham, who takes on the role of a performer at the school prom.
