Baba Ali post new single Hold My Head

Baba Ali are following their 2020 debut ‘Memory Device’.

Baba Ali are streaming their new single Hold My Head ahead of Laugh Like A Bomb’s release on April 28th via Memphis Industries.

“I just kept singing it until I could really feel the depth of the words, and my eyes started to water,” Baba said.

We stopped the session there and I knew something had finally stuck. I realised that it was this intense emotional place in myself that I needed to tap into as we continued writing the album. The moments of feeling worn out on tour ended up being a real inspiration for the song. The opening line ‘sew me up’, in fact, came from a time when my trousers kept coming apart at the seams when performing.

“I would have to keep repairing them in the hotel after each show night after night after night. These repetitive actions of stitching, sewing, tearing… really seeped into me.”
