Dope Lemon – Miami Baby: New Song Of The Day
Dope Lemon reveals sun-soaked single, Miami Baby, off forthcoming fourth album titled Kimosabe.
Here’s the blurb with more:
Following the announcement of his highly anticipated fourth record ‘Kimosabè‘ (due Friday, September 29 via BMG), beloved Australian luminary DOPE LEMON has just unveiled the album’s second single, ‘Miami Baby‘ – produced by the artist himself.
Akin to its namesake, ‘Miami Baby’ is a radiant and steezy slice of poised indie-rock. Driven by its unwavering rhythmic section, the groove-laden track glides along gracefully as syncopated bass and deftly composed guitars intertwine amid the effortless vocals of enigmatic frontman Angus Stone. The dreamy and anthemic chorus recalls the vibe of a psychedelic-infused summer, bursting with an explosion of sunshine.
KIMOSABÈ is a divine and open-armed universe, boasting ethereal and mesmerising soundscapes, that transcends the status quo. It’s the first DOPE LEMON album that reveals the face of Angus Stone, the project’s brainchild, on its cover. He comments: “This record is everything that’s me. In the past, the artwork has been anonymous in a way because I was trying to explore these styles, and having this shield in front of me was beautiful – I could sort of slink around in the shadows and wouldn’t have the public make judgement on the person behind it. This record, I had moments of clarity reflecting on my childhood, and I was able to see where I want to be in the future. So putting myself on the cover just felt right.”
To accompany the record’s release DOPE LEMON will perform two exclusive album previews shows at the Forum Melbourne and the Sydney Opera House. 2023 is shaping up to be a huge year in the live arena for DOPE LEMON with recent performances at Rock Werchter and Best Kept Secret, before heading to the USA/CA for festivals Lollapalooza, Osheaga and Outside Lands in August and then a month-long headline tour in October and November plus both weekends at Austin City Limits.

Most recent album ‘Rose Pink Cadillac‘ peaked at #1 on the ARIA Vinyl Chart and ARIA Album Chart and was crowned as triple j’s Feature Album in 2022. The record’s title track placed at #27 in triple j’s Hottest 100 (2021).
