NYC R&B duo Lion Babe just premiered their new song “Western World” featuring Raekwon on Beats1 Radio with Ebro and you can hear it now across all digital platforms.

The track is from their forthcoming album, Cosmic Wind, due out Friday, Mar. 29, and pulls inspiration from the Pet Shop Boys timeless song “West End Girls” and features an appearance from the legendary Wu-Tang member Raekwon. Following their 2016 critically-acclaimed debut album Begin, Cosmic Wind is an introspective turn, highlighting their growth socially, physically, lyrically; musically!

Lion Babe states simply, “It’s about the current climate of our American culture and soul. Honored to have Raekwon help paint this wild picture of the present.”

Already setting milestones before their album release, Lion Babe’s current single “The Wave” featuring Leikeli47, is on its way to becoming the next viral dance hit and was selected to be the official song of the “Kids Heart Challenge” by the American Heart Association. This nationwide initiative was designed to get kids in participating schools educated about heart health through dance, while raising money for the organization’s life-saving missions.

Check out the “Western World” single and video for “The Wave” below.
