A deviant tale of unrequited love, fans can listen to the song <a href="http://lnk.to/prettygay"><strong>online</strong></a>, here and watch the brand new lyric video.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:18px">On the new single, BAYBE shares: “’Pretty Gay!’ is a dark take on the cliche experience of feeling a connection with a girl, only to find out that she’s straight. Filled with cheeky innuendos and a hint of violence, I wanted to highlight the contrast between the tongue-in-cheek lyrics and the hard-hitting hip-hop track. If you don’t listen to it, well… that’s pretty gay."</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/nxwMEiHEUE4" width=100% title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:18px">Miami-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and producer <a href="https://www.baybeofficial.com/">BAYBE</a> stalks pop hooks from the shadows of off-kilter hard rock punctuated by hip-hop with an aesthetic befitting of an A24 mindfuck.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:18px">Born to a voiceover artist mom and recording engineer father, she practically took her first steps in the family’s recording studio. At three-years-old, she accepted a seminal gig, voicing Lovee Dolls. “When you squeeze their hands and feet, they either sing educational songs or little rhymes,” she says. Classically trained, she excelled at music. Listening to everyone from Sufjan Stevens, Fleet Foxes, and Bon Iver to Of Mice & Men and Bring Me The Horizon, she cut her teeth in bands throughout high school and middle school, developing her chops in the process. Settling in Nashville, she introduced herself as BAYBE in 2020. Following “MY NAME IS BAYBE,” the breakout “rosalie” eclipsed over 2.2 million Spotify streams, while “Speak of the Devil” [feat. JF] generated 2.1 million Spotify streams. Simultaneously, her double entendre and larger-than-life persona popped off on TikTok, attracting over 336K followers.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:18px">“I found my home and my sonic space,” she goes on. “I wanted a project where I could fully go into the dark place I’ve always loved in everybody else’s music. Thematically, I fully embraced horror. Musically, it’s metal hip-hop. It was so comfortable to write heavier songs.” In the end, BAYBE is here to stay, and she’s coming for you…</span></p><BR><BR><hr><center><div class="AdSpeedVisibleAd" asreq="https://g.adspeed.net/ad.php?do=js&zid=74738&oid=16882&wd=-1&ht=-1"></div></center><center><h4><b><i>Follow New Jersey Stage on social media<BR><a href=https://www.facebook.com/newjerseystage>Facebook</A>, <a href=https://www.threads.net/@newjerseystage>Threads</a>, <a href=https://www.instagram.com/newjerseystage>Instagram</a>, <a href=https://www.twitter.com/newjerseystage>Twitter</a>, <a href=https://bsky.app/profile/newjerseystage.com>Bluesky</a><BR></i></h4></b></div></center><div class="mainarticle"><hr><BR>
