To me, London Grammar’s 2013 debut single Wasting My Young Years has always remained their finest moment. But it was follow-up track Stronger that really caused their break-through. Both tracks were on the band’s debut album If You Wait.

Since their sophomore album Truth Is A Beautiful Thing from 2017, London Grammar went pretty quiet. Apart from last year’s collaboration with Flume, Let Me Know, new single Baby It’s You is their first release in 3 years’ time. And surprise: it’s not one of the band’s trademark ballads this time!

For Baby It’s You, Hanna Reid, Dan Rothman and Dominic Major worked with British electronic pioneer George FitzGerald. This collaboration resulted in a track with atmospheric verses and beat-laden choruses. Somehow, it reminds me of the vibe of early ‘90s project Deep Forest, especially the title track of their debut album.
