LION BABE has released their fourth studio album, House of LION BABE. The duo’s Rainbow Child album was three years ago and since then they have gone harder with their dance music ethos and this time around there are no guest appearances. The stylish millennials have studied classic ’90s house and created an album of irresistible tunes that could have easily been a part of that era. They have always embraced nostalgia from the beginning, with the rare ability to miss sounding like a stale history lesson. On House of LION BABE, they pay tribute to ball culture with songs made for walking, twirling, and posing on the ballroom stage. In their 10+ years of working together, Lucas Goodman and Jillian Hervey have mastered the late-night vibe that comes from escaping into the world of dance, usually in a club. HOLB allows you to access that feeling anywhere and at anytime.  Upon listening to “Better Late Than Never,” you are mentally whisked away into a world of a domineering bass synth, handclaps, and Hervey’s sexy rap. The slinky rhythm work up pulls your body and mind into a getaway from the drudgery of mundane life. All 14 songs succeed in lifting up dopamine and adrenaline levels with music that would’ve made Willi Ninja proud. There is new HOLB merchandise, a tour of Europe and a video for “Mama Wanna Dance.” 

House legend Todd Terry remixes Lion Babe’s “Love Another Time.” The duo’s latest tune gets a squirmy bassline and accentuated synths under Terry’s touch. The changes to the original version add more fanfare to the single and conjure up visions of huge dance floors, disco lights, and moving bodies. The duo has consistently contributed to the genre with memorable past reworkings of Nelly’s “Hot In Herre” and Yasiin Bey’s “Umi Says.” “Love Another Time” marks the next phase of Lion Babe’s house evolution and a meeting of a pioneer with contemporary artists, thus ensuring the genre’s survival in the 21st century. “Love Another Time” is streaming on digital platforms, and Lion Babe has also dropped new merchandise. 

Lion Babe has a DJ set coming on the rooftop of Elsewhere in Brooklyn on July 3rd. Tickets are on sale now.

Lion Babe’s visual for “Radiant Child” is here and it’s a study in subtle movement and heavy emotion. In less than three minutes they grab the heart with Jillian’s words. The duo just revealed their own “Radiant Child” with the birth of their son in December. They released their fourth album Rainbow Child in 2021.
