BABA looks back

Singer recalls tough 4 years on LP

- Cathal Ryan

BABA's debut album, Truth, is a "commentary on the last four years" of the artist's life.

The 12-track, featuring production crafted by Enda Gallery who co-wrote the record, is a compelling autobiographical album that explores core themes of female empowerment, love, loss and hope.

"Basically, the album is really just a commentary, kind of on the last four years of my life," Siobhán Lynch, aka BABA, told The Scene.

"We had a lot of miscarriages the last few years. I had the process of IVF.

"So there's two songs. There's one for my little boy that I lost in the second trimester of pregnancy. That's Apollo.

"And then, very luckily, I had a little girl, so that's Love Like This. That's about her, and then there's two songs in the middle which are Lost in Lisbon and Spicy Summer.
