“Baby Chaya” as a kind of music-art-project has been co-founded 2020 by the German-based female singer, songwriter and harpplayer Chaya Zhao. The instrumental tracks for her songs come from the drummers and producers Benjamin Leuschner and Jochen Weiss. The genre-spanning songs can best be assigned to Alternative or Indie Pop with experimental impacts, the lyrics are in English and partly in Chinese. The debut single “It ́s a Test” was just released in May 2020 with the independent label Ars Metaphonia. One of the distinguishing features of “Baby Chaya” are self-made bjd-dolls on the cover-artwork as well as their animation within the music videos, visualising the song content on a meta-level.
The recently released single »Milk« is dedicated to the cultural debacle in 2020, yet it is an optimistic, pulse beating and groovy dance track in a slight retro style of the 80s with some African vibes. »Milk« once again features the established song elements by Baby Chaya: the fragility and intimacy of Chaya ́s voice on the one hand, the partly epical, partly weird soundtrack with often polyrhythmic and experimental components on the other.
