Swedish rapper Yung Lean has unleashed “Babyface Maniacs,” a standout track from his fifth studio album, Jonatan. Dropped as part of the highly anticipated release, the song captures Lean’s signature blend of hazy, experimental rap with a raw, unpolished edge. Performed live at Stockholm’s Avicii Arena, it’s a chaotic rush of candy-cane violence and highland escapes, cementing Lean’s evolution from cloud rap trailblazer to genre-defying artist.
The track pulses with frenetic energy, pairing warped beats with Lean’s dazed flow. Lyrics like “lazy in-love killer” and “radio silence” evoke a surreal, rebellious vibe, hinting at a narrative of love and destruction. Fans on X are raving, calling it a visceral highlight of Jonatan, with its four-wheeler madness and mountain-side imagery amplifying Lean’s outsider ethos.
“Babyface Maniacs” underscores Lean’s shift toward a more personal sound, reflecting his real name, Jonatan, in the album’s title. It’s a bold statement—wild yet introspective—that proves Yung Lean remains a force, pushing boundaries while honoring his roots. Expect this one to dominate playlists and live sets alike.
