Baba is a force to be reckoned with in the Irish music scene—an artist whose music flows from the heart and captivates the soul. With a deep connection to music and a unique perspective on the world, she crafts soulful, eclectic pop songs that speak directly to the human experience. Her emotionally honest lyrics and dulcet vocals have made her a standout talent in contemporary music, and her performances—whether at Electric Picnic, Castlepalooza, or The Ruby Sessions—never fail to leave audiences spellbound.
Baba’s track “I Defy” is a shining example of her artistry and has earned significant recognition. Featured on the second edition of 100% Her, curated by Universal Production Music UK, the track joins a collection of contemporary songs written exclusively by women. Mixed by Olga Fitzroy (Dua Lipa, Coldplay, Peter Gabriel) and mastered by Katie Tavini, “I Defy” was also selected by Film4 to promote its summer film range—a testament to the reach and impact of Baba's music.
But it's not just her recorded work that has caught attention; it’s Baba’s live performances that truly showcase her artistry. With every note she sings, she invites audiences into her world, blending the raw power of her voice with the emotional depth of her songs. Her live shows are a breathtaking experience, filled with passion, vulnerability, and energy.
Baba’s debut album, Truth, will be released on May 30th, marking a pivotal moment in her musical journey. Drawing from her personal experiences, Truth is an autobiographical exploration of themes such as female empowerment, love, loss, and hope. Much of the album’s subject matter is influenced by her own difficult fertility journey, with the music serving as a vehicle for expressing both the pain and beauty found in these intimate, often private experiences. As Baba puts it, “I want to give hope to the despairing and celebrate the wonder of the human spirit to both survive and thrive, despite unimaginable grief and longing.”
With Truth, Baba affirms her place as the Queen of Irish Soul Pop, offering a collection of songs that are as emotionally resonant as they are sonically captivating. Her music is a reflection of her journey—a testament to the power of art to heal, inspire, and connect us all.
