The new mothers, the rock stars, the ones doubting themselves who need our support, the ones who are ill but show an indescribable strength.Beyoncé’s Single Ladies - written and produced by Chris Stewart (a.k.a.
Essentially I’m writing about so many women that I just love. My good friend, a woman in her late 50’s chose not to have children and continues to be one of my favourite musicians and most youthful vibrant person I know. Women who want to have children and can’t physically, women who can physically but choose not to, all different scenarios. She adds, "For the album I spoke to so many women. Lots of my friends I’ve spoken to did this very same thing." If you were to tell 14 year old me I’d be 34, unmarried and have no children I’d have never believed it. It’s like when we were younger we all made our own timelines in our minds of when we thought we would do certain things. There’s that panic that so many of us have that we are running out of time, when it comes to having children. It's not all about beastiality, I promise."Įxpanding on the album's central themes, Shah says, "It’s a conversation between me and so many of my friends in our 30's. A lot of my album explores subjects of sexism and tradition. Only this time the mistress is a farmyard animal. I reversed the gender and I poke fun at a husband who expects nothing more from me, as a wife, than to carry his child and perform the role of the obeying subservient trophy wife. "Ladies for Babies" is a direct response to "All That She Wants" by Ace of Base.
I was also thinking about a lot of the songs I would have been listening to at the time, songs I sang along to innocently without question of the meaning. It always stuck with me, I guess cause it sounded daft but really because even back then I knew its true meaning and intent. Shah says of her new offering, "My brother was making a comment on sexism when he was younger and made a painting of a man embracing a goat with the phrase "ladies for babies, goats for love".
"Ladies For Babies (Goats For Love)" is the first new single from Shah since 2017 album Holiday Destination.
