Baby Queen drops “Feel Something” today on Insanity Records, the second single from her not yet announced second studio album. It follows the scintillating lead single “I Hope You Don’t Remember Me” and announces itself immediately, opening in a whirl of 80s pop atmospherics before erupting into frenetic bass grooves, epic guitar lines, and propulsive drums. The hook is indelible. This is indie-pop with real force behind it.
Bella Latham speaks directly about the song: “This song took many months to write. It details the thrill of a forbidden romance wherein for me, desire is overriding common sense. It’s wild and free and perhaps more emotionally naive than the rest of the record, but there’s also a lot of tension and a deep sense of yearning in it. It has always felt like a kind of beginning to me narrative-wise, because everything starts with the inception of a feeling.”
The single arrives after Baby Queen’s recent return to the live stage at London’s Hoxton Hall, where she made a grand entrance on a horse-drawn funeral carriage, a symbolic tribute to the death of her ego. She debuted new songs alongside fan favourites, backed by musicians from the new album, including producer Alex Casnoff on keys.
The new record was born out of a starkly emotional period. Latham left London for New York and then LA, where she connected with Casnoff and found a collaborator who instinctively understood her creative vision. Their sessions across LA and London capture an artist leaning into a visceral, raw new sound that feels immediate and uncompromising.
Baby Queen’s previous credits include the breakout “Colours of You” for Netflix’s Heartstopper, a tour with Olivia Rodrigo, and her critically acclaimed Top 5 debut album ‘Quarter Life Crisis’ in 2023. “Feel Something” is out now.
