A New York City-based duo with a simultaneously left-of-center and slightly retro spin on R&B, Lion Babe consists of vocalist Jillian Hervey and producer Lucas Goodman. The two met at a party, when Hervey, the daughter of Vanessa Williams, overheard tracks Goodman, aka Astro Raw, had created and struck up a conversation with him. The first song they made together, “Treat Me Like Fire,” was uploaded to Soundcloud in November 2012, and they were subsequently snapped up by Polydor (in the U.K.) and Interscope (in the U.S.).
Lion Babe – Impossible
Lion Babe resurfaced in December 2014 with a self-titled four-track EP that featured “Treat Me Like Fire,” as well as “Jump Hi,” a strutting number on which Childish Gambino made an appearance. An album with production input from Pharrell Williams and Dave Sitek, among others, was expected in 2015. New York based duo Lion Babe, formed by producer Jillian Hervey and vocalist Lucas Goodman are back with the second official single, “Impossible” taken from their forthcoming debut album.
Lion Babe – Impossible Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
You think I’m impossible
You think that it’s logical
To think you know about me, what you know about me?
I got things I could say that would probably change your views
[Refrain]
I’ve lost my head top, don’t you stop
I wanna see you rock
I got that drop-drop, still on lock
Now you’re gonna have to watch
I’ve lost my head top, don’t you stop
I wanna see you rock
I got that drop-drop, still on lock
Now you’re gonna have to watch
[Pre-Chorus]
You can break me down and shake me
Don’t try to rearrange me
No way you can mistake me, it’s impossible
You can break me down and shake me
Don’t try to rearrange me
No way that you can change me, it’s impossible
[Chorus]
Impossible, Impossible
Impossible, Impossible
[Verse 2]
You think I’m obtainable
You see I’m untamable
To think you know about me, what you know about me?
I got things I could say that would probably change your views
[Refrain]
I’ve lost my head top, don’t you stop
I wanna see you rock
I got that drop-drop, still on lock
Now you’re gonna have to watch
I’ve lost my head top, don’t you stop
I wanna see you rock
I got that drop-drop, still on lock
Now you’re gonna have to watch
[Pre-Chorus]
You can break me down and shake me
Don’t try to rearrange me
No way you can mistake me, it’s impossible
You can break me down and shake me
Don’t try to rearrange me
No way that you can change me, it’s impossible
You can break me down and shake me
Don’t try to rearrange me
No way you can mistake me, it’s impossible
You can break me down and shake me
Don’t try to rearrange me
No way that you can change me, it’s impossible
[Chorus]
Impossible, Impossible
Impossible, Impossible
[Bridge]
Head top, top, top
(You think I’m impossible)
I’ve lost my head top, top, top
(You think I’m impossible)
I’ve lost my head top, top, top
(You think I’m impossible)
I’ve lost my head top, top, top
[Refrain]
I’ve lost my head top, don’t you stop
I wanna see you rock
I got that drop-drop, still on lock
Now you’re gonna have to watch
I’ve lost my head top, don’t you stop
I wanna see you rock
I got that drop-drop, still on lock
Now you’re gonna have to watch
