Baby Queen shares her new single, "Quarter Life Crisis"
Baby Queen – AKA Bella Latham – 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.
"Quarter Life Crisis", stemmed from a conversation 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 fuck 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 features 12 tracks, including previously released singles, "All The Things", "Dream Girl", and "We Can Be Anything" and was produced by long-time Baby Queen collaborator King Ed.
Baby Queen contributed six songs to the soundtrack of the new series of the global smash Netflix show Heartstopper.
Hot on the heels of a busy summer of live shows – including performing on the main stage at Reading & Leeds - Baby Queen recently announced the first leg of her forthcoming ‘Quarter Life Crisis’ tour, which includes a date at London's Kentish Town Forum.
