That the title of Lion Babe’s new song reminds one of the Pet Shop Boys’ hit ‘West End Girls’ is no coincidence.
The Jillian Hervey/Lucas Goodman collaboration’s new single directly samples the Pet Shop Boys’ famous song and adds an appearance by Wu-Tang member Raekwon. It is also another preview of her upcoming record, Cosmic Wind, due out on March 29th.
Of the new music, Lion Babe says, “It’s about the current climate of our American culture and soul. Honored to have Raekwon help paint this wild picture of the present.”
Lion Babe’s current single, ‘The Wave,’ which faetures Leikeli47, was selected to be the official song of the “Kids Heart Challenge” by the American Heart Association.
