Baby Queen officially releases her surprise new track ‘Colours Of You’, via Polydor Records, as featured as the soundbed for the first teaser of Netflix’s highly-anticipated LGBTQ+ drama ‘Heartstopper’ – based on the popular 4-part young adults book series of the same title. Written specifically for the show, the track was teased online last month as part of its promotion and has been received with incredible feedback online, garnering over 1M+ views thus far on YouTube, and marks the first release of 2022 from pop’s favourite anti-hero.
Speaking on the synch, Baby Queen – real name Bella Latham – says: “To be asked to be a part of a story as beautiful and culturally important as Alice Oseman’s Heartstopper was unbelievable, and still feels completely surreal. ‘Colours Of You’ is a song I wrote about one of the lead character’s journeys through the discovery and acceptance of his own sexuality. The song means a lot to me and is different to a lot of the music people have heard from me before, so I feel like I get to show a different side to myself as an artist and a writer.”
‘Colours Of You’ follows Baby Queen’s critically acclaimed 2021 mixtape, The Yearbook, and since then she has gone from strength to strength with accolades and glowing reviews from key media publications such Clash, DORK, DIY, The Evening Standard, GQ, BEAT and NME who dubbed her “a future leader of pop”. Tipped as an artist to watch this year with her inclusion on the BBC Sounds of 2022 list, the year is looking bright for Baby Queen as she joins Olivia Rodrigo on the European and UK-leg of her ‘SOUR’ world tour in July, as well as her own 7-show headline tour beginning in April, which includes a night at London’s Electric Ballroom on April 27th, and a new full-length project on the horizon. The sky is the limit for Baby Queen.
