It feels like Baby Queen has been in the music industry for ages – but she’s only just announced her first full-length album.
Following her extremely successful 2021 EP, The Yearbook, South African-born Arabella Latham has just announced October 6, 2023 as the release date of her debut record, Quarter Life Crisis, and the tour to coincide with her explosive album.
Beginning in Brighton on October 31, 2023, the star will be venturing around the UK throughout November, 2023, before finishing off her tour with two massive shows in New York and Los Angeles.
Speaking about her new album, Baby Queen said: “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.”
“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.” – Baby Queen
Baby Queen added: “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.
“I really want this album to leave people feeling hopeful because there is so much beauty to live through and look forward to and it truly is magical and extraordinary to be alive and to have the very short opportunity to experience every emotion imaginable.”
