Baba Unveils Debut Album ‘Truth’
BABA UNVEILS DEBUT ALBUM TRUTH
“Lynch can express such profound experiences and align them with intelligent pop songs that bounce on your head and burrow down into your soul.” The Irish Post
“one of the best voices in Ireland bar none” The GOO
The Irish Independent and The Irish Post-tipped artist BABA will release her highly anticipated debut album, Truth on May 30th: A journey through highs and lows shaped by love, loss and the search for meaning.
Truth is a compelling autobiographical album that explores core themes of female empowerment, love, loss and hope. Drawing inspiration from her difficult fertility journey, Baba's pain, grief and joy are what have driven her to use music to communicate the emotional and spiritual responses of people, in often private experiences. Following a heartbreaking few years enduring fertility treatments and multiple miscarriages, she felt inspired to reconnect with the things that give her joy in life and take back control of her happiness - an inspiring story of resilience that runs deep through the album.
BABA says: “This album is my story—my journey through the highs and lows of recent years. It is an honest reflection on grief, resilience, and self-discovery, born from my struggles with fertility, the heartbreak of baby loss, and the mental health challenges that followed. It is a story about facing the complexities of healing while embracing those glorious moments of love, joy, nostalgia, and hope. Always hope. There was room for some bangers in there too”
Featuring rich, retro production crafted by Enda Gallery, who co-wrote the album and whose vocals feature on the single, ‘Spicy Summer’, Truth blends bold allure with effortless charm to explore the most intimate of themes with sheer grace. Arming herself with emotionally honest lyrics and dulcet vocals, Baba lays her heart bare. Loosely divided into four stages, the album portrays different junctures of her journey, from nervous hospital appointments to a newborn baby on her knee, with each quarter connected by a unique voice note interlude.
The album’s lead singles ‘Truth’, ‘Apollo’, ‘Spicy Summer’ and ‘Sad Party’, have enjoyed extensive praise across Irish radio and media (Hot Press, Golden Plec, The Last Mixed Tape, RTÉ 2FM, Today FM, iRadio, Beat102103 and more), the latter of which was also featured in The Sunday Times and highlighted as RTE.ie Tune of the Week. The music video to album title track ‘Truth’, which was produced by close collaborator Enda Gallery, who has worked with two time Grammy-nominated producer duo Christian Rich (Drake, Childish Gambino, J.Cole), has almost surpassed 10,000 views on YouTube. ‘Spicy Summer’, the final single from the album, enjoyed airplay on RTÉ 2FM, Today FM, iRadio and Red FM, alongside coverage in Hot Press and Golden Plec.
A truly exceptional creative who lives and breathes her art, Baba has a unique perspective on the world and a deep connection to music, which she channels into her soulful and eclectic songwriting. Her live performances—including Electric Picnic, The Six O’Clock Show and The Ruby Sessions—are captivating, leaving audiences gasping for more. A leading voice in Irish soul-pop (Pure M Zine), Baba's talent has not gone unnoticed, with her single 'I Defy' being included on the second edition of 100% Her, curated by Universal Production Music UK, which showcases contemporary songs written exclusively by women. 100% Her was mixed by Olga Fitzroy (Dua Lipa, Coldplay, Peter Gabriel) and mastered by Katie Tavini, and the song was also used by Film4 to promote their summer film range.
A collection of auditory delights await from this Queen of Irish Soul Pop.
