When we did that song we were working in Lucas's little sister's room in a makeshift closet studio. We have such a different vibe now that we're recording in a real studio. LG: 'I don't think we thought about it that much because we just do what we want to do, especially at this stage.' Sometimes you'll be working with different collaborators and you won't get that feeling, and then you know something is wrong.'Р”Вoes it make you feel constrained in any way when the first thing you do is so well liked but you're already moving on to new stuff? But at the same time there's always that feeling you get when something is right. We've always been like, 'What would it be like if it had a Strokes vibe and weР’В put some p-funk on it?'Р’В I think that's the fun part about what we do.

When 'Treat Me Like Fire'Р’В came out, that was the first song we'd ever written and I think after that we just had to go and try different thingsР’В because we have an eclectic taste in music. I'm not sure we've totally solidified our identity, butР’В even when we do I don't imagine it will stay solid forever.

As we went onР’В we realised we wanted to make music that did certain kinds of things. WeР’В like all sorts of music Р’В 'Treat Me Like Fire' just happened to be that kind of sound. Lucas Goodman: 'When we first came out, everyone was using this 'neo-soul' tag, which we don't really see ourselves as. Do you think you're still searching for your identity or is your identity just malleable? There's a lot of different sounds and ideas on it.

I've been listening to the album for the past couple of days and it's great. JH: 'My little sister listens to Satellite Radio and hears us all the time. It's such an important moment though РІР‚вЂњР’В driving around in your car and hearing your songР’В on the radio! Maybe it's just because our generation doesn't listen to radio as much as we should.

Jillian Hervey: 'I've still not heard oneР’В out of the blue, but my friends in the Village will be like, 'Oh they were playing 'Treat Me Like Fire' or 'Jump Hi' in Topshop.'Р’В The first time Annie Mac played it was because Disclosure were there and they were saying, 'You've got to hear this.'' Last week I sat down with New Yorkers Lucas Goodman and Jillian Hervey, aka Lion Babe, to discuss the new album.Р”Вo you remember the first time you heard one of your songs on the radio or in an unexpected place? It is also an album made by children of the internet-age: its influences span decades and genres it is the sound of songwriters who are able to access 60 years of music with a couple of clicks. Of course there is always a danger when moving into the pop world that artists lose what made them exciting and interesting in the first place, but fortunately on Begin, Lion Babe's debut album, this hasn't happened РІР‚вЂњР’В they have retained the warmth of that first single while writing increasingly hook-filled tunes. This seemed like a huge statement of intent for a duo I'd previously seen as inhabiting the world of buzzy blogs. They fell off the radar for a couple of years until they announced they were working with Pharrell Williams, then at the height of his 'Happy'/Daft Punk powers. And if BeginР’В is good to your earholes, take it home with you on iTunes today.I first heard Lion BabeР’В back in 2013, just after they'd releasedР’В their first single, 'Treat Me Like Fire'.Р’В WhatР’В stood outР’В was the warmth of their sound and its obvious roots in 1970s soul, especially at a time when so much R&B had become cold and groove-less. No dates have been announced in support of the record just yet, but weРІР‚в„ўll certainly have our eyes out for you.

Today, however, we celebrate the long-awaited release of their debut full-length project, Begin. TheyРІР‚в„ўve linked with legends like Childish Gambino and Pharrell along the way, joined Disclosure on their sophomore record, even having their music reworked by the almighty DJ Premier.
