Baby Queen has shared details of a new mixtape.
The follow-up to Bella Latham's 2020 debut EP 'Medicine' is called 'The Yearbook' and will arrive on September 3 via Island Records. It'll include previous singles These Drugs, Raw Thoughts and Dover Beach, alongside the newly unveiled American Dream, among its 10 tracks.
The punchy alt-pop song finds the Durban-born, London-based artist collaborating with Australian singer MAY-A for a twisted message of optimism. Latham said:
"This song compares a childlike infatuation with the idea of the American dream, which in hindsight is a bit of a fallacy, but there were people that did get to experience it and reach the prosperity they’d heard about.
"I'm really into manifestation - not in a spiritual way, just in a very practical sense. I think if you put all your energy into something by talking about it all the time or thinking about it, the course of your life will naturally bend towards that thing. This song is me manifesting my dream to be with a certain person. It’s essentially a song about a childlike crush you are cheeky enough to plan out inside your own head."
MAY-A added: "This song is super fun to be a part of. Bella and I were talking online for a bit about music. I was a big fan of her song Want Me, so I feel really psyched that she wanted to bring me on to this track. It's a fun one to sing!"
