Fresh out of the Zoo

(Januarie 2025)

Babette, the versatile singer and songwriter, is excited to announce the release of her latest single, You’re making me want this. Babette, who has a lifelong passion for music, wrote this single as part of her album “Am I Lily,” which depicts the journey of a relationship from beginning to end.

The single, written by Babette and Mark Beling, is a country song about the spark that remains alive when she sees an old flame again in a bar. It’s the kind of romantic encounter often seen in Hollywood movies. You’re making me want this reflects Babette’s own life experiences, where one night she ran into an old flame in a bar, and a flood of emotions overwhelmed her.

For Babette, this single is very special, as she still has a soft spot for him. She chose to release this single next because it is playful and “flirty.” “Something we all need once in a while,” Babette explains. She hopes the public will enjoy this single and find it relatable.

“I think people are going to love the song because it’s honest and genuine. It speaks to the heart of all of us and the emotions we sometimes don’t dare to express,” she adds.

You’re making me want this is for anyone who has ever been in a situation where they left a relationship before they were ready and then ran into that person again years later. This single reminds us of the emotions those experiences bring and how they affect us all.

More about the artist:

Elizabeth Labuschagne, also known as Babette, started performing at the age of 10 and grew up in the music industry. After a break in her twenties, she has been back in the industry for the past three years. Babette’s music is mostly inspired by her own life experiences and the people around her.

Babette’s musical taste covers a wide range of genres, including Country, Rock, Pop, 80’s, and contemporary music. She is deeply influenced by artists like Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow, and Meredith Brooks but still tries to follow her own unique path and not be too influenced by any specific artists.

Many different artists inspire her and she is a big fan of Taylor Swift. A big dream for her would be to work with Max Martin or Jack Antonoff.

One of the biggest challenges Babette has had to overcome was her battle with breast cancer. This experience was not only one of the hardest she has ever gone through but also gave her a renewed appreciation for life and its beauty.
