Lemonade Baby and Of Lion collaborate on dreamy single ‘Talk’
Australian DJ and producer Lemonade Baby has shared another teaser from his upcoming debut album, Stars Stars Stars, slated for release in February.
‘Talk’ originated from a chance meeting between Lemonade Baby and Of Lion at a record store in Nambour, where Of Lion was performing. Their creative chemistry quickly became apparent during a writing session shortly before Lemonade Baby left for Japan. The track features a nostalgic opening piano melody played on a Casio keyboard and lyrics that came together effortlessly during their session.
Reflecting on the process, Lemonade Baby shared:
“Izzy and I met in Nambour at a show she was playing in a record store. We shortly organized a writing session before I left for Japan, we hit it off trading references like Evanescence – Bring Me to Life and The Sundays – Here’s Where the Story Ends. After talking for a few hours, we busted out my Casio keyboard I had, and Izzy played the opening piano melody. Lyrics came very quickly; Izzy wrote some lines on her phone and had an idea of how she wanted to sing it intuitively.”
Of Lion added:
“For me, the lyrics are kinda petty, directed towards someone who only wants to know you when it suits them. The music came together really quickly in the session, and I ended up sticking with the first lyrics I thought of. We didn’t overthink anything, we just went where the music took us that day.”
‘Talk’ is available now on all major streaming platforms via Mammal Sounds Records.
