Baby Queen announces her debut album, Quarter Life Crisis

"Quarter Life Crisis" features 12 tracks, including previously released singles "Dream Girl" and "We Can Be Anything" and was produced by long-time Baby Queen collaborator King Ed.

"All The Things" features on the deluxe edition of Baby Queen’s forthcoming debut album. It is one of six songs Baby Queen has contributed to the soundtrack of the new series of the global smash Netflix show Heartstopper, which launched at the start of August. 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.

"“All The Things" draws inspiration from the relationship between two of the main characters in Heartstopper called Tao and Elle, but also encapsulates the emotions I was feeling very strongly at the time of writing it, so it's a very personal song to me," Latham says. "It's about being so enamoured with a person that the things that once brought you happiness don't hit or affect you in quite the same way because all the things you used to want to do, you now want to do with that person by your side.”

“This album tells the story of my journey through my early 20s - leaving my childhood and my adolescence behind but never really losing my childlike wonder and never quite growing up. The songs are all facets of what early adulthood has been like for me while discovering new parts of myself, my sexuality, my past and my place in this world," Lathum says of the forthcoming album.

It has been lonely, chaotic, beautiful, devastating and inspiring and I think these songs reflect that, creating a space in which innocence and experience can live side by side as two conflicting entities. I've always been really inspired by the dichotomy and tension between two opposite things - hence the name Baby Queen. Human beings are complex, and life and growth are complex and nuanced. I'm not sure anybody ever truly feels like they have it all figured out - I certainly don't, but it has been the greatest joy of my life to be able to share my experiences with those willing to listen to my stories."

Baby Queen also announces the first dates of her forthcoming tour in support of her debut album. The Quarter Life Crisis tour of the UK includes a date at London's Kentish Town Forum.
