Following her debut EP Medicine, which Baby Queen only put out in November 2020, she has a new collection of songs lined up. This time it’ll be a mixtape, named The Yearbook, that will be unleashed on 3 September. With the release of her new single You Shaped Hole, exactly half of the ten tracks to appear on it are out in the open already.

If these tracks have one thing in common, it’s their consistently high quality. Bella Latham (the singer-songwriter’s real name) has the talent to pack her misery in ultra catchy and accessible pop tunes. The anti-hero the world needs right now.

Baby Queen says about You Shaped Hole: “I was super heartbroken when I wrote this song, and my ex was dating this beautiful supermodel after dumping me in Clissold Park in North East London. I went through a bit of a wild phase, as one does, and was doing everything I could possibly do to feel better. At the time I had this image in my mind of a hole inside my body that was shaped exactly like my ex, and it was as if I was trying to fill that hole in any way I could. But the things I was filling it with never reached the corners or made me feel any better, they just cluttered my life.”

You Shaped Hole by Baby Queen is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, so it’ll feature here prominently for a whole week!
