Lion Babe ( Jillian Hervey and Astro Raw ) have released a new single featuring Brooklyn’s own Leikeli47 called, “The Wave”. The 70’s funk inspired song which is produced by Jillian Hervey was debuted on Annie Mac’s “Hottest Record in the World” show on BBC Radio 1.
About “The Wave”, Jillian Hervey says, “Obviously we love the U.K. and spent a lot of time on our first album there. The music is always enforced by where you are and for us, New York is so home. I think just the energy of the records, they play into the things that have always have influenced us and hustling over to Brooklyn every day to work on the record totally enforces the sound.”
Lion Babe explains “We’re feeling really good about this new music and so excited about it. It’s really just the two of us out here making the records we’ve always wanted to make and the sound is really coming into its full form because we’ve been doing this for a little bit so we know what we want to do and we’re going for it!”
About Leikeli47, Lion Babe said “We’ve been fans of Leikeli47’s music for a while now. She’s so creative and visual like us so it seemed like a great match-up and it’s super exciting for us!”

Lion Babe is gearing up for their upcoming performances at the 2018 Cochella Music Festival in Cali, the AfroPunk Festival in NYC. Lion Babe is also scheduled to perform “The Wave” on BET’s The Rundown on April 5.
