Australia-born, Berlin-based Baby Smith, made up of Ray Sonder and Saxon Gable, are set to release their debut album Lately, Love Is Dead on July 10. Now, they are sharing the album’s title-track, laden with existential lyricism and an elegantly crafted arrangement.
On ‘Lately, Love Is Dead’, the band said “The song touches on idol worship and beauty standards. “I wanna be pretty, I wanna be sought after, I wanna be someone else, I wanna be somewhere else.” This comments on the way our capitalist society is built and how it constantly reinforces that we should always want more and we shouldn’t dare to be satisfied with who we are, how we look, where we are in our lives, or our circumstances. Everything is disposable, people are disposable, love is disposable. We honestly think love may be dead right now. The world is in such a dark place, and it’s pretty hard to bear. As people, we are becoming more isolated and individualised.”
