在「DareDeviil2000」中,BABii以前所未有的方式突破界限,探索叛逆、暴力和个人转变的复杂主题。这张未来主义的专辑深刻描绘了她对邪恶和地狱的抽象景象,塑造了如流氓、妖怪,甚至名为 Tito Von Bricabrac 的垃圾灵魂小丑等角色。这张专辑将grime, UKG, fluorescent bassline, R&B, 和 cybercrime rap完美融合,展现了BABii 独特的音乐风格--正如她本身一样令人耳目一新。
With「DareDevil2000」,BABii has pushed boundaries like never before, exploring complex themes of rebellion, violence, and personal transformation. This futuristic album delves into her abstract vision of evil and hell, bringing characters like hooligans, goblins, and even a Trash Spirit Clown named Tito Von Bricabrac to life. A soundtrack that blends grime, UKG, fluorescent bassline, R&B, and cybercrime rap, it’s an album that dares to be different – just like BABii herself.

在过去的几年里,BABii彻底改变了她创作音乐的方式,旧时的突破音乐边界的方式已经不再适用于全新的她。《DareDeviil2000》延续了她在2022年合作混音带《Screamer》中的创作风格。该作品展现了这位制作人兼歌手,从她妹妹的角度出发,书写她们与边缘型人格障碍(BPD)斗争的故事。
在《DareDeviil2000》中,她将这种概念化的创作方式推向了更深远的境界,以抽象的方式探讨邪恶的概念,并将其投射到自己幻想的地狱中。通过这种创造性的实践,BABii提出了具有挑战性的问题,即探讨是什么推动着人们一次又一次地越界,同时探索了自身不被社会认可和接受的个人关系。
「DareDeviil2000」is a continuation of the writing style she began with 2022 collaborative mixtape「Screamer」, which saw the producer and vocalist writing from the perspective of her younger sister and their struggle with BPD.
On 「DareDeviil2000」she pushes that conceptual approach even further, taking an abstract look at the idea of evil and projecting it into her own imagined idea of hell. Through this creative exercise, BABii asks challenging questions about what pushes people to transgress while also exploring her personal relationships with those who society deems unwanted or unacceptable.
在整张专辑中,BABii进入了类似但丁《神曲·地狱篇》的世界,探讨了暴力和犯罪的起源,以及地狱如何与现实世界建立联系。每首歌都对应着一种罪恶,并与一个罪恶的犯罪者联系在一起。这些包括流氓、石像鬼、地精和一个名为Tito Von Bricabrac的垃圾精神小丑。所有这些都存在于一个幻想中的未来地狱景观“涅瓦世界(Nevaworld)”中。这也正是这张专辑所存在的地方。她构建世界的本能在这张专辑中得到了充分展示,同时她也以人文的方式对待生活,探索在到达最终目的地之前会发生什么。
Across the album, BABii enters something akin to Dante’s Inferno, exploring the origins of violence and criminality and how hell relates to the real world. Each song corresponds to a separate sin and comes with a villainous criminal attached. These include hooligans, gargoyles, goblins, and a Trash Spirit Clown named Tito Von Bricabrac. All exist in the fantastical Nevaworld, a futuristic hellscape that the album exists in. Her world building instincts are on full display alongside her humane approach to life as she explores what happens before that final destination is reached.
整张专辑贯穿着一种逃避现实的元素,BABii与现实脱离,想象她在社会边缘的虚构生活。例如,《Viper》是一场充满欺诈,胡言乱语的诈骗犯幻想。这种恶棍角色在虚构的故事中是主流概念。“坏人”或“反英雄”的形象极具吸引力,是一个通向不良行为的幻想之门。对BABii来说,这也让她能够从以前那种赤裸裸的自我表达中抽离出来。“我做的其他唱片真的很痛苦,”她说。“我更喜欢脱离自我,讲述别人的故事,这让我比从个人角度写作时有更多探索自由的空间。”
There is an escapist element that runs throughout the album as BABii disassociates from reality and imagines her own fictional life on the wrong side of the tracks. Take《Viper》, for example, an identity fraud fantasy filled with scam rap gibberish. This kind of villainy is a mainstay in fictional storytelling. The idea of the bad guy or the anti-hero is a deeply alluring one; a portal to which the well-intentioned can live out a transgressive fantasy. For BABii, it also allowed her to take a step back from laying herself bare as she has done in the past. “Other records I have made have been really painful,” she says. “I prefer to disassociate and tell the story of others, it gives me a lot more freedom to explore than when I’m writing from a personal perspective.”
《XL Bully》使用英国政府在2023年禁止的那只备受争议的狗作为隐喻,探讨导致犯罪的外部因素。而《JOYR1DE》则探讨了深度伪造色情的模糊伦理,无论是那些创作者还是其消费者。
《XL Bully》uses the image of the much-maligned dog, banned by the British government in 2023, as a metaphor for the external factors that lead to criminality.《JOYR1DE》, meanwhile, explores the murky ethics of deep fake porn, both those who create it and its consumers.
尽管这张专辑一开始带有一定的艺术创作自由,BABii很快发现自己其实是从更个人的角度进行创作。在她成长过程中,她经常看到父亲对他人施暴,在公共场合打架并将攻击性作为一种防御机制。看到一个本应保护和养育你的人却对他人造成伤害,让她对人的多面性有了独特的理解。“在我在回顾生命中遇到的所有无视法律的守护者时,”她说。“我偶然间认识到了自己。”
在《DareDeviil2000》制作的早期阶段,BABii发现自己在无意中写到了她的父亲,而当他在专辑制作过程中不幸去世时,她的创作变得更加直接。她第一次经历了创作障碍,发现自己无法找到合适的词语。“我爸爸是我做音乐的原因之一,我当时就想,‘我为什么要做这件事?’”她回忆道。
Though the album began with a degree of artistic license, BABii soon found herself writing from a more personal perspective. Growing up she was used to seeing her father be violent towards other people, fighting in public and using aggression as a defense mechanism. Watching someone whose job it is to protect and nurture you but cause harm to others gives a unique insight into the multi-faceted ways a person can be. “I’m catching a vibe of all the lawless guardians in my life,” she says. “Then I found things about myself almost by accident.”
If BABii found herself accidentally writing about her father in the early stages of 《DareDeviil2000》, things became more explicit when he sadly passed away mid-way through the making of the album. She struggled with writer’s block for the first time and found the words impossible to come by. “My dad is one of the reasons I make music and I just thought, “Why am I doing this?” she says, looking back.
朋友们建议她缓一缓,等待时机。而她的逆反心理则告诉她要坚持下去,努力将这种挣扎转化为某种创作动力。在制作人Warpstr、Samuel Organ、Mun Sing、Iglooghost和Pholo的陪伴下,这一行人于肯特郡马盖特的Prah Studios聚集在一起,她开始走出悲伤。在录制过程中,《DareDeviil2000》的打击感和粗暴声音的参考了Kanye West的黑暗杰作《Yeezus》以及Jam City和Mumdance。“如果不是因为那次创作经历,这张专辑永远都不会完成,”她回顾道。这张专辑从经典的grime, UKG, fluorescent bassline, R&B, 和底特律 cybercrime rap中汲取灵感,同时又显得独一无二。
Friends advised her to take a step back and wait. The contrarian side of her knew to push through and make the struggle work somehow. She gathered producers Warpstr, Samuel Organ, Mun Sing, Iglooghost, and Pholo at Prah Studios in Margate, Kent and began working her way out of her grief. Reference points in the recording process for 《DareDeviil2000’s》 punchy and abrasive sound included Kanye West’s dark masterpiece《Yeezus》, as well as Jam City and Mumdance. “It would never have got finished if it wasn’t for that writers camp,” she says looking back on an album that touches on classic grime instrumentals, fluorescent bassline, UKG, R&B, and Detroit cybercrime scam rap for influence while sounding utterly unique.
对冰球的痴迷贯穿了专辑中的两首歌《Scarface》和《TRA$$$her》。她曾观看了一部关于丹伯里的一支队名叫“Trashers”的纪录片,这支球队以在冰场上的激烈表现和幕后猖獗的犯罪行为而闻名。这种恶名吸引了她的注意,直到她意识到这种“恶”与个人的联系;她的父亲青少年时期曾是一名前途光明的冰球运动员,但由于对这项运动缺乏兴趣并且不适应竞赛的压力,他放弃了冰球并前往英国。“他承受了很大的压力,无法再坚持下去。他进入了完全的叛逆模式,”她说。“那首歌里有很多背叛,他背叛了人们对他会成为何种人的期望。”
An obsession with ice hockey informs two songs on the album,《Scarface》 and《TRA$$$her》. She had been watching a documentary on The Danbury Trashers, a team noted for their aggressive displays on the ice and rampant criminality behind the scenes. The notoriety captured her attention before she realized the personal connection; her father had been a promising hockey player himself as a teenager in Canada. but, uninspired by the sport and uncomfortable with the pressure, quit and made his way to the U.K. “He was under a lot of pressure and couldn’t do it any more. He went into absolute rebel mode,” she says. “There is a lot of betrayal in that song, betraying what people thought he was going to be.”
在《DareDeviil2000》中,BABii避开了简单叙事的便利,而是探讨了反叛和违背期望的意义。正是这种强大的共情能力让歌曲创作充满了人性。它是一张本能上理解游离于社会边缘,被社会排斥者的专辑,探索在社会规范之外存在如何导致“变坏”的疏离感。在一个快速分化立场的世界里,BABii试图理解她周围的人。这是一张将那些犯错和理解犯错者人性化的专辑,呼吁更多的理解。这是一次激进的前进步伐。
Across《DareDeviil2000》, BABii sidesteps the ease of simple narratives, instead exploring what it means to rebel and go against expectations. It’s this readiness to understand that makes the songwriting so humane. It’s an album that innately understands the outcast and how existing outside of societal norms can lead to an alienation that turns “bad.” In a world quick to take sides, BABii seeks to understand those around her. The result is an album that humanizes the people behind these mistakes and errors and asks for greater understanding. It’s a radical step forwards.
