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.”

The soulful song is the title track of the duo’s 2019 album. Hervey and Lucas Goodman seem to inhabit a world that has stopped for them and their regal bohemian authority. The video for “Cosmic Wind” is the third one of the visual trilogy that previously included “Sexy Please” and “Different Planet.”
