(22 October) British-Spanish artist LALA HAYDEN today releases her transfixing new single "baby you're the best!".
Having begun this year with notable festival appearances at Eurosonic, The Great Escape, Liverpool Sound City, Beyond The Music & more, LALA HAYDEN has solidified herself as a fascinating proposition on the live stage. With "baby you're the best!" she is putting down her marker as one of the most exciting prospects in music for 2025.
Made in collaboration with producer Ben Christophers (Bat For Lashes, Françoise Hardy, Nakhane), on "baby you're the best!", LALA delves into the themes of emotional neglect, societal expectations, and the desire for authentic connection - all set to a backdrop of foreboding, enticing synth-pop.
Currently adding the finishing touches to a new project due for release next year - LALA HAYDEN (real name Laura Hayden) commented on the lyrical inspiration behind her new single:
''I keep feeling triggered when I see older men with much younger women (women who could be their daughters). It's like these grown men don't want to be challenged, they just want to be praised...and nothing evolves or changes. I wanted to write the song from the perspective of the first wife, who is desperate to feel seen, she wants her man to grow with her instead of disengage when it feels too difficult."
Splitting her time between Barcelona and London, LALA HAYDEN is an artist revitalised, reinvigorated and ready to take on the world. Releasing her debut EP 'Girl Becomes' in the summer of 2023, LALA has taken the time since to finesse her artistry, with her new music drawing from the work of strong female voices such as Kate Bush, Ladyhawke, Self Esteem, Robyn, Róisín Murphy, Donna Summer, Jessie Ware and Lykke Li.
Alongside her music, LALA created a coaching platform for women in 2023 - with those two worlds colliding within her songwriting. Themes of womanhood, female empowerment; self love and interdependence are explored with passion and purpose, with her lyrics and unique live performances conveying strength and confidence, as she told Vogue - “The goal of my music is to make you walk with your back a little straighter, your chest a little more open and your head a little higher".
LALA HAYDEN's new single "baby you're the best!" is out now. LALA plays Live at Leeds in November and will share more new music in 2025. |
