Internationally acclaimed artist and actress, Grace VanderWaal, returns today with an unabashedly bratty pop anthem titled Babydoll featuring Aliyah’s Interlude. A fun and up-tempo follow up to her deeply introspective What’s Left Of Me, Babydoll comes with an official music video directed by Sophie Hur and serves as part of an exciting new era for the 21-year-old award-winning artist.
“In the studio, we were talking about acting bratty, going out, wanting everything, and being a diva,” VanderWaal recalls on making Babydoll. “Tiffany Stringer and I had the idea to write a song from our alter egos perspective. We named mine Baby Doll: who doesn’t like to be told no. I had an amazing time writing and creating it.”
The release of Babydoll follows a whirlwind 2024 for Grace VanderWaal, which included a spine-tingling performance at the 2024 Kennedy Center Honors and a featured role from the legendary Academy® Award-winning filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, in his epic, Megalopolis, starring alongside Academy Award® nominees Adam Driver and Laurence Fishburne. The film, which made its premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, received a seven-minute standing ovation for the famed director’s work.
