BABEHEAVEN DON'T WAKE ME

'Don't Wake Me' is the hazy new single by West London ensemble Babeheaven. Encapsulating a bleary-eyed sense of rising as the sun shines through the window, the smooth piece consists of easy-grooving bass, which locks in with laid-back drum rhythms as warm synth sounds ripple on the horizon. Lyrically contemplating feelings of place and belonging vocalist Nancy Andersen says: “Don’t Wake Me is a song about feeling connected - in some ways to our belongings and some to our loved ones. I’ve gotten to the point in my life that when I go home (to my family home) it doesn’t really feel like home anymore. So lyrically, I was thinking about the feeling of home, home being with someone you love and the positions one accumulates in life.” Listen here now. -Holly Mullineaux
