LISTEN: bb sway - 'Baby Wants Out of The City'

If the idea of a new track from bb sway doesn't already excite you (I mean, honestly?!) then get a load of the catchy whistling on this one. I love me a whistle-along and I adore this tune. Baby Wants Out of the City is the latest tune from the Hong-Kong born and London-based artist, the first on the label 7476. I first heard her through Habits and I Found Out When the Day Had Come last year and I've been keeping an ear out for new music. I think that lots of people will find the thoughts behind the lyrics are highly relatable at the moment, of wishing to escape the city and to find peace within nature. It's a beautiful sentiment reflected in a track that exudes that same beauty in a kind of shimmery and carefree sound.

On the track, bb sway shares: "This song was particularly inspired by Hong Kong, where high-rise buildings are surrounded by big mountains covered with luscious tropical vegetation, and gnarly roots seep into every concrete crack in the city. Having grown up on an island, I was also always surrounded by the sea, and it wasn't until after I moved away that I realised how closely I felt connected to it."

LISTEN: bb sway - 'habits'

I first heard bb sway back in September with her single I Found Out When the Day Had Come (and the particularly joyous music video that came with it, dancing with cows included) but never got round to sharing it here. Attempting to rectify that with her new single habits, which I'm channelling towards your speakers & hearts now... in her trademark style, using bedroom pop to deliver relatable and heartfelt tunes, it's catchy but meaningful. Love this! 

On the track, she shares "I wrote habits to help me with my mental health. When depression hits (at the time, it was SAD in particular), I think it's important to stay active, and be proactive in doing things that keep the mind and body stimulated. Writing 'habits' (and listening to it) helped me stay positive and remember that sad periods don't last forever, and there are things I can do to help myself!"
