Mathilda Homer envisions an imaginary future on “Baby Blue Eyes”

Almost elemental in its simplicity, a persistently danceable beat and melancholic instrumental texture take a supporting role in the track, allowing for Mathilda Homer’s vocal performance to soar above the surface. Having recently signed to RCA and supported Ady Suleiman and Oscar Jerome, the 21-year-old Londoner is making waves, and “Baby Blue Eyes” is introducing us to the darker side of her creative space.

With a huskiness to her voice and raw edge to her lyrics, Homer's track explores a daydream of hers, in which she imagines a future where she has a baby with her lover. Homer explains, “I was flicking through one day in a session and came across a list of baby names. I wanted to write a song that describes exactly that feeling of being in love and the processes I go through, imagining what our baby would look like.” The music video explores the concept further, navigating the relatable possibility of getting lost in a daydream, and depicting Homer in her imagined fantasy.

Homer's style, which has unsurprisingly been shaped by her formative years spent growing up in a musical household, remains deeply rooted in musical craftsmanship, and it's in her attention to detail and naturally engaging vocal performance that she marks herself clearly as one to watch.
