Baby Queen

Baby Queen is the project of Bella Latham, who grew up in Durban and moved to London as a teenager to pursue music. Her songs pair big, bright pop hooks with lyrics that are sharp, self-deprecating and often unflattering about the people she's singing to, including herself.

Her early releases arrived as an EP and then a mixtape, The Yearbook, before her debut album, Quarter Life Crisis. She wrote "Colours of You" for the soundtrack of the Netflix series Heartstopper, which brought her to a wider audience. The writing tends to circle anxiety, social media and growing up in public, delivered with more jokes than self-pity.
