Babebee – all that heaven allows

Today, Korean-American artist Babebee (pronounced “baby”) shares their third full-length album, all that heaven allows, out now via Lauren Records.

On all that heaven allows, Babebee blends the layered, reverb-soaked weight of shoegaze with the punchy electronic drums and vocal manipulation of hyperpop to create a sound that is entirely their own.

Babebee knows how to be vulnerable. The album’s fifth and most stripped-down track, “nightingale,” explores Babebee’s wants and needs in a relationship, breaking cycles of generational trauma over an atmospheric soundscape of guitar and minimal beats. “When mistakes happen, we have to learn how to forgive the other person and especially ourselves,” explains Babebee.

all that heaven allows is a culmination of Babebee’s experiences over the last two years. “I realized I’ve been suppressing a lot within that time frame,” said Babebee. “At first I wanted to actively avoid what happened, but while creating this project, I worked on myself, reversing what it did to my mind.”

Babebee continues, “This album is about experiencing abortion, abuse, grief, and questioning why. It’s a goodbye, accepting and letting go of my past in order to free it from my next life. And it’s a message to keep loving; love is revolutionary.”
