Basia Bulat announces her new album Basia’s Palace – co-produced by frequent collaborator Mark Lawson, and mixed by legendary engineer Tucker Martine – will be released on February 21, 2025. As well as sharing the glistening lead single ‘Baby’, an elegant dance-inflected track augmented by strings courtesy of GRAMMY-nominated arranger Drew Jurecka.
The track showcases the stunning, silvery voice of three-time Polaris Music Prize finalist and five-time JUNO Award nominee Bulat, and arrives alongside a dazzling, one-take video shot on film by director Nora Rosenthal. Watch below!
“Basia’s album exists between worlds and between time-scales, referencing her Polish heritage and her dual identities as a singer-songwriter and a mother. These videos emerged in part through conversations we’ve had about the blurred lines that exist between anyone’s senses of self, but especially among performers, as well as our mutual fascination with the objects passed down from generation to generation, and which becomes stand-ins for memory,” says Rosenthal. “The textiles used in ‘Baby,’ for example, belong to Basia’s family. We wanted to build a tiny microcosm of home to exist alongside Basia on stage – three generations of women inhabiting the joy of this song, together.”
The album that emerged from all this is the softest and most searching of her career. Basia’s Palace is like a time-travel score, with Bulat akin to Chrono Trigger’s intrepid adventurer, going back into the past to shape the events of the future.
