Blue Ringed Baby & Kamī’s ‘Forever Chemicals’ drifts through genres & feelings

Blue Ringed Baby & Kamī’s debut album ‘Forever Chemicals’ lands on London label Goddezz, bringing together nine original tracks and three remixes that blur the lines between ambient jungle, trip hop, art pop, and shoegaze.

The result is a fluid, dreamlike listen that highlights the duo’s balance of texture and emotion (and an undeniable chemistry).

If the name Kamī seems familiar, that’s because she was previously featured in our Artists Exciting Us series.

The album’s purpose is captured perfectly in its press release: “In an era of overstimulation and algorithmic noise, Forever Chemicals offers a rare refuge: a space to drift, daydream and float forever.”

The album opens with ‘All We Have’, a spacious and melodic track that eases listeners in with airy synths and layered vocals.

Tracks like ‘CPU Maxxing’ and ‘Endless Brainspill’ introduce light, playful breakbeats beneath Kamī’s glowing voice. The latter stands out for its mix of euphoric tones and crisp percussion—an easy high point of the record.

Elsewhere, ‘Salt Eyes’ and ‘Balta [Test of Time]’ leans into more ambient territory, while ‘Talk in Fours’ closes the set of original tracks by moving freely across sounds and tempos, tying the journey together.

The remix section widens the album’s palette, ranging from deep ambient jungle to Balearic trip hop cut and warm, jazz-tinged bliss.
