![]() ![]() Baby Tate’s debut project, 2015’s ROYGBIV, saw her exercising full creative control, as a singer, songwriter, rapper, producer, and engineer-independent skills she’s been honing since she was 13 years old. Within a single body of work, you’ll hear summery pop, amorous R&B, and hard-hitting hip-hop. The Atlanta-based artist, formerly known as Yung Baby Tate, has a new, concise moniker, but the 25-year-old’s sound remains sprawling. With more new music on the way, including her upcoming album Estrella due out later this year through 300 Elektra Entertainment, Ambar is on a mission to touch as many souls as she can through her inimitable sonic storytelling.įueled by self-love and manifested dreams, Baby Tate is forever evolving. Inspired by her alter ego, Ambar’s next single, “Timeless,” continues her journey into that prismatic world. Lucid describes Estrella as “the bold and confident woman I am becoming, fully embracing and owning my fluidity, identity, and self-confidence.” In this new era, she has released two singles, “girl ur so pretty” a pop song that embraces Lucid’s sexuality and “La Torre”, heavily influenced by the tower tarot card signifying dramatic and necessary change. Ambar has since embraced a new alter ego, Estrella, that was birthed while working on her forthcoming sophomore album of the same name. Coupled with what Ambar refers to as a “conscious spiritual journey,” this psychedelic discovery sparked a new evolution in Ambar’s sound and aesthetic, creating a whole new world for the dynamic artist: a rainbow-hued cosmic realm of flowers, mushrooms, faeries, and butterflies, all enveloped in a soundscape of soulful vocals, trippy psych-rock, and lush electronics as heard on her transcendent Garden of Lucid album, released in 2020. Songs such as “A letter to my younger self” and “Mar de Llanto'' allowed Ambar to navigate her struggle with depression and the feeling that even her loved ones thought she was “crazy” for following her dreams. Not long after, she began uploading her original songs to SoundCloud-folk-tinged, bilingual indie pop and R&B tracks tackling the hopelessness and sadness that teens often face in today’s complex world. At age 11, she started teaching herself how to play the guitar. However, her complicated upbringing and where she came from, as she tells it, made it seem like a “very unrealistic thing to want to be an artist.” At school she joined clubs such as chorus and band, and started learning how to play the ukulele and piano. Ambar knew at a young age that she wanted to make music professionally someday, something that gave her a sense of comfort and hope when she needed it most. “All I really had to entertain myself was pop culture,” she says of years spent watching pop music videos, artist interviews, and concert footage on YouTube. Seeking an escape from the daily hardships of life, she found refuge in pop artists such as Lady Gaga, Kesha, Bruno Mars, and her “idol” Selena Gomez. Please note, no matter what session(s) you are able to attend or not attend in person, you will have access to each the very next morning as well.īorn to a Dominican mother and Mexican father in New Jersey, 21-year-old Ambar Lucid grew up watching her dad get deported to Mexico when she was a little kid, a traumatic experience that cast a shadow over her childhood.
