New Single Release: South Arcade “Nepo Baby”
22 January 2024
With vibes reminding of Avril Lavigne’s in the early 2000s, this single is a response to negative comments the band received saying how easy it is to enter the “fame” circle when you have parents with relationships in the milieu.
South Arcade has made a social media breakthrough during the past two years. In doing so, all members received very unfavourable criticism accusing them of being ‘Nepo Babies’ themselves.
The singer, Harmony Cavelle, said: “This song is a reply to all the negative comments that we have been receiving. / We wanted to do something fun and jokey.”
“Ain’t even made it but you’re centre stage. Daddy’s paid” this song refers to the term ‘Nepo Baby’ which is commonly used to describe the children of those with connections allowing them to succeed in their careers.
The song was written and created in collaboration with all four members: Harry Winks (guitarist), Cody Leigh Johns (drummer), Ollie Green (bass) and Harmony Cavelle (vocalist) after South Arcade guitarist thought of a potential mix idea.
Since meeting at university all members have been working hard to release new songs as often as possible. This year, the band are aiming to release a song every five weeks, with a new single to be expected in February. With currently a bit more than 10,000 listens on Spotify, ‘Nepo Baby’ is the first in one of the many new releases that will be happening this year. It is also expected to be featured in the band’s Arc.Angel Tour taking place in March.
