Having just released new album Wild Imagination on Moshi Moshi, Sweet Baboo has now shared the video for new single ‘Pink Rainbow’; a frisky hit of funk-pop psychedelia – Arthur Russell meets Robert Wyatt.
Sweet Baboo AKA Stephen Black says of the video, “The second instalment in James Hankins three part odyssey. I like to think of the video as our take on Bittersweet Symphony, except I jump on a bin at one point, something Richard Ashcroft never managed to achieved in his 27 year career, it should be noted.”
He says of the single, “I love everything about it; it’s so over the top. From the backing vocals, to the title, to Paul’s ostentatious keyboard solo. The lyrics are ridiculous too. My son’s favourite song at the time was Rainbow Connection by the Kermit the Frog. His favourite colour was pink. I thought that was a good start as any for a song. The world can be a pretty dreary place so you may as well step out onto a pink rainbow.”
