Katie Malco has shared her SOAK collaboration ‘Babette’.
Out now, the single comes as the English songwriter traverses North America – currently supporting Julien Baker on a variety of Stateside shows, she’s also set to tour alongside Advance Base, in addition to a Chicago headliner.
Out now, ‘Babette’ kicks off something new – a series of singles all of which will feature guest female and non-binary artists.
Beautifully understated indie pop, ‘Babette’ finds Katie Malco creating a hugely sympathetic web of sound, her voice perfectly balanced against Northern Irish artist SOAK.
Fresh from debut album ‘Failures’, this new song finds Katie Malco ruminating on uncomfortable conversations. Talking about the song, Malco says…
“I wrote Babette after a phone call with someone, where I felt I didn’t say any of the right things, they couldn’t hear me (literally and metaphorically), and ultimately, when I hung up, I felt that I didn’t fit into their life.”
She continues: “I think the phone call is an analogy for not always knowing how to fit into social situations. I’m either too quiet and reserved or too loud and boisterous, but I can’t help it. I guess my personality can be a little too extreme in one direction or the other, and when I wrote ‘Babette’, I felt helpless to change it.”
Tune in now.
