MAAD has brought on board some of her frequent collaborators to lend their hands to the production, including\u00a0Raleigh Dunn, who also serves as songwriter, producer, and co-founder of THEVAMP collective\/indie label, as well as Amsterdam-based electronic artist Midas Hutch, whose 2018 single &#8216;I\u2019ll Go There&#8217;, features stunning vocals by MAAD and engineering by Dunn. They&#8217;ve given &#8216;BAAD&#8217; a\u00a0 club-floor bounce, which melds perfectly with MAAD&#8217;s sultry soul vibe. While modern in every way, there&#8217;s still a certain vintage element to the track.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for &#8216;BAAD&#8217; sees direction by another of MAAD&#8217;s frequent collaborators, Paulo Berberan, who directed the clip for her song, &#8216;New Religion&#8217;. For &#8216;BAAD&#8217;, we see MAAD playing the role of a video girl selling fantasies over the Internet.
