feature: lion babe drop infectious new single ‘endless summer’, announce north america tour and new mixtape ‘sun joint’

June 14, 2016

‘Endless Summer’ is a bright and infectious, technicolor single that you’ll want to hear over and over. A refreshingly feel good blend of laid back Caribbean influences and electro-funk-n-soul, ‘Endless Summer’ is gonna be a playlist staple all season long. But, wait, there’s more! ‘Endless Summer’ is just a sneak peek of Lion Babe’s forthcoming mixtape ‘Sun Joint’ which comes out June 21—just into for their first ever North American headlining tour which kicks off at ESSENCE Festival on July 1. See when Lion Babe are headed your way, down below!
