Rising British Pop icon Loren Heat has just unleashed Be Ur Baby, a seductive, sharp and unapologetically fearless banger featuring fellow nort east queer baddie ZELA.
Out now via Interval Records, Be Ur Baby is their most potent release to date and channels the energy of Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa and Billie Eilish, but with a bold, working class northern edge. This is a song about wanting to be loved for who you are, despite all the bagage and imperfections one has. It’s a song about yearning so much for someone, a relatable message that is flawlessly conveyed both by Loren and ZELA’s gorgeous vocals. Apart from their vocals I am particularly fond of the shimmering rhythms nicely intertwined with a punchy beat and cool synths that culminate into an infectious chorus perfect to sing along to.
Speaking about the song Loren explains,
‘Be Ur Baby’ is essentially wanting to be loved for who you are, you have baggage, you’re not perfect, but you want this person so badly that your body and mind are almost begging. It kind of dabbles with the voice in the back of your head telling you that you’re too much for them, but you stil want them regardless. I wanted this song to sound desperate, the part of yearning where it feels like every heartstring is being pulled by them.
