Babehoven releases new song “Blue Around You”
Throughout this year, Maya Bon of Babehoven has been deeply involved in collaborative projects. This is not a new occurrence since Babehoven, her duo based in Hudson, New York, with producer and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Albert always involves collaboration. However, this year has seen Bon extending her creative reach by working with other musicians as well. Babehoven’s most recent album, “Water’s Here In You,” was released in 2024, and last year, the group contributed a song to the TRAИƧA benefit compilation, collaborating with Cassandra Jenkins and Bloomsday. Continuing this trend, Bon recently teamed up with Squirrel Flower for a cover of Mojave 3’s “My Life In Art” and joined forces with Squirrel Flower and Billie Marten on the track “Wheels.” Now, Babehoven has unveiled a new single of their own.
As they prepare to embark on a tour with Ray Bull starting tomorrow, Babehoven has shared their latest offering, the tender and quaint track “Blue Around You.” Filled with fiddle-heavy country instrumentation, the song captures the essence of feeling connected to the universe’s cosmic mechanism, evoking moments where one feels intertwined with the greater essence of existence. In a statement, the band expressed the following sentiment: “Standing on a bridge seeing apartments illuminated around you, being understood by a friend who knows your story, witnessing someone pull their life together like tenderly tying a shoelace — these are all moments where we find each other in the soup of it all and choose to really see one another and stay. I see the blue around you as if we carry the hard times we go through around and within us like a glow.”
The track “Blue Around You” serves as a testament to Babehoven’s ability to create introspective and poignant music that resonates with listeners on a deeply emotional level.
