Ouri – Baby Has A Frown

Today, Montreal-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Ouri returns with her new single “Baby Has A Frown.” Pulling from her background as a cellist, harpist, and intent lover of reimagined dance music, “Baby Has A Frown” provides insight into the musical landscape in which Ouri currently finds herself.

Speaking on the track’s significance she shares, “This song is an infinite dance of polarities. I wanted it to feel like a mantra and a choreographed pursuit. A slow and deep euphoria playing on loop in your head. Following ‘Twin’ and ‘blueprints of us’, I’m accelerating into this new sonic world where all my sides merge as one.”

Alongside the single Ouri is heading on tour across North America with fellow Canadian artist Charlotte Day Wilson with stops including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Toronto, Vancouver and more. The tour follows her dates with Patrick Watson across Europe as well as her previous tour with Yaeji and additional dates with Tirzah and Smerz. You can find the full upcoming tour routing below. 

The new single comes after her highly praised debut album Frame of a Fauna was shortlisted for the Polaris Prize.
