Premiere: Sweet Baboo – ‘Wild Imagination’

A joyous return from the North Wales musician...

Sweet Baboo has always had a sense of innocence in his work. There's a purity to the feeling conveyed, with the North Wales songwriter going that little bit deeper.

New album 'Wild Imagination' drops on June 2nd (pre-order HERE), with Clash able to share the title cut.

It's a joyous return, one that skips and leaps with rare abandon. Sweet Baboo explains:

"I’m hoping that the sentiment of the song is pretty universal. As with a lot of this album, I wanted to convey the same sense of hope and joy I feel when I listen to Robert Wyatt or Arthur Russell singing. Musically, I love the mix of Jeff Lynne acoustics, cheap drum machine, Talking Heads keyboard riffs and Wings guitar licks and the middle eight is lifted straight from the Euros Childs songbook."

We're able to bring you the full visuals, and it's a simple yet entrancing affair, full of life:
