ARAHI releases new song “Baby’s Back” as 13th floor New Song of the Day
Immerse yourself in the dreamy world of indie rock and pop with ARAHI’s latest single, Baby’s Back. This captivating track is a blend of shiny guitar tones and steady drums, creating a vibrant image of longing and melancholy mixed with a sense of hope and reckless energy. The driving rhythm of the song shines brightly on the surface, contrasting with its darker undertones of intense desire and self-destructive tendencies.
ARAHI shares his vision for Baby’s Back, aiming to transport listeners into a blissful and dreamy realm for the full length of the track. Clocking in at 4 minutes and 14 seconds, the song carries a feeling of euphoria and optimism, encouraging the audience to drift along its hopeful horizon.
The inspiration for Baby’s Back came to ARAHI shortly after he relocated from his hometown in Haumoana, Hawkes Bay to Tāmaki Makaurau. This song has remained a constant presence in his musical journey, symbolizing the transition from rural life to the bustling city environment. Collaborating with renowned producer and engineer Jol Mulholland, ARAHI sees Baby’s Back as a pivotal moment in his artistic evolution. He describes it as a breakthrough, a step forward in creating the music he envisions, rather than lagging behind his aspirations.
To pay homage to his roots, the music video for Baby’s Back was filmed on a scorching summer day in Haumoana by videographer Floyd Pepper from Hawkes Bay. This visual representation complements the song’s themes, capturing the essence of ARAHI’s background and musical influences.
Following the success of ‘We’ve Seen Better Days’ from the previous year, Baby’s Back offers a taste of what’s to come on ARAHI’s upcoming full-length album, scheduled for release later in the year. Meanwhile, fans can catch ARAHI live at CubaDupa in Wellington and his upcoming three-date Small Halls Tour in Hawkes Bay, starting tonight.
