Hailing from the Portsmouth area, Baby Said are made up of Italian/Punjabi sisters Veronica and Jess Pal whose musical journey began at a very young age. Ahead of releasing debut album BS out March 7, the duo share new single ‘Dead To Me’.
Speaking on the track the band say, “When arriving at the writing session we began messing around on guitars/bass, and that’s when Jess found the ‘Dead to Me’ riff. Jess began to start writing the lyrics with a darker narrative, finishing them one day on the train home from college. Whilst Veronica was in the middle of creating her solo, Jess thought it would be a cool idea to incorporate the signature psycho instrumental phrase (the knife) that you would hear in horror movies.
“During a rare break, Veronica played them a voice recording of a chatty duck she recorded in Scotland, which then led to them sampling it and putting it at the end of the track. For the guitars/bass, this needed to be heavier to match the theme of the lyrics, so tried a lot of different pedals, and then with the three-part harmony in the chorus we wanted pretty vocals to contrast the not so pretty lyrics.”
