Now available to stream or download, Baby Girl is a lush and moody ballad written and sung by Robert Milne with backing vocals from The Mentalist Collective, along with up-and-coming singer- songwriter and good friend, Lara Rose. Lara is one half of country-folk duo, Tall Folk, and is now producing and performing locally with her band.
The song is a bittersweet reflection on the emotional rollercoaster that is parenthood; a deeply personal, poignant and befitting release, with all members of The Mentalist Collective now being parents (Brendan Christie is now father to a baby girl).
Baby Girl, with it’s quietly throbbing intro and dreamy guitar strums often stops audiences in their tracks and commands attention. Lyrical imagery and metaphor bring the song to a crescendo before a simple yet angst-ridden guitar solo bursts forth like teenage rebellion.
A surging tide sur rounds a cave
Bundles of buds are screaming out
Nature will have its wicked way
God knows if we’ll get out alive
Performing Live:
