New York, NY (Top40 Charts) New York based duo LION BABE, comprised of singer / songwriter Jillian Hervey and producer
Lucas Goodman, will head out on their Cosmic Wind Tour this summer, in support of their recently released second studio album, Cosmic Wind , which has now has over 10.2M combined streams across platforms! Tickets for the 13 date US run are available now at lionbabe.com. The duo today also released a limited edition capsule collection of merch, including t-shirts, hoodies, sweat pants, socks, ball cap and 12" of Cosmic Wind on vinyl.
The project's most recent stand out single "Western World," which features hip-hop heavyweight Raekwon, pulls inspiration from the
Pet Shop Boys timeless song "West End Girls" and features an accompanying video with all three donning the chicest of cowboy-influenced fashion. Earlier this year, the duo shared the official video for the album's infectiously catchy standout dance hit, "
The Wave" feat. Leikeli47. "
The Wave" has already amassed over 2 million Spotify plays and nearly half a million YouTube views and is the official song for the American
Heart Association's "Kids
Heart Challenge," a nationwide physical education initiative aimed to get kids in participating schools dancing as a means of heart-healthy exercise and raise funds for the organization's life-saving mission.
Cosmic Wind is the follow up to Lion Babe's 2016 critically-acclaimed debut album Begin and comes on the heels of a very strong 2018 for the band, earmarked by live performances at Coachella's main stage, and AFROPUNK festival. They ended the year with two reimagined covers for Carly Simon's classic "Why" and
Little Beaver's "Get Into The Party Life" which are growing rapidly in streams.
"New York funk-soul duo Lion Babe ignite a funky, psychedelic dance party..." - ROLLING STONE
"crafted with a fantasy in mind: warm summer night, rooftop overlooking the city, Christmas lights, friends laughing, drinks flowing. The focus is vibe and mood" - PITCHFORK
"Like any great duo, Hervey and Goodman are growing together both musically and personally. Cosmic Wind, amidst all of its genre-blending tracks and contrasting sounds, is a presentation of the holistic space the group is in at the moment." - PAPER
"There's no doubt that Lion Babe has created a collection of beat-driven, catchy songs in the duo's sophomore album 'Cosmic Wind.' Jillian Hervey's strong, soulful vocals shine through, accompanied by the production influence of
Lucas Goodman, who plays with genre intersection without falling too deep into the experimental world of alternative R&B." - ASSOCIATED PRESS
