Lion Babe may-well have only gained prominence in the latter-part of this year, however the project, a partnership between vocalist Jillian Hervey and producer Lucas Goodman, has been circumventing for well over a eighteen-months now.

It was, however, their collaboration with Childish Gambino on the enchanting Jump Hi, that spiralled Lion Babe into the minds (and hearts) of the blogger community, and subsequently receiving radio spins by some of the most influential DJs out there (from a UK-perspective, their rise can be thanked to the likes of Zane Lowe and Mistajam).

With their self-titled EP dropping a week ago, things really seem to be looking bright for Lion Babe – the slinky Jungle Lady alongside Treat Me Like Fire just two of the standouts included – and whilst R&B seems to have taken a ‘weird turn’ over the past decade, it seems Lion Babe are standing true to their beliefs of what the genre itself should stand for. Strong elements of soul, beautiful lo-fi electronic beats, and pretty-much a golden ticket to create visuals that stand out from the crowd, we’re expecting 2015 to be the year when Lion Babe go some way to impress the consumerists out there.

Next stage? Well summer festival appearances are massively on our wish-list, and if it so happens they end up with a set at Glastonbury 2015, come see us at the front of the crowd!
