In August 2025, Wells announced she would no longer release electronic music features as a solo artist, citing streaming algorithm challenges that limited her visibility due to the stylistic range of her catalog. Instead, she launched baby blue, an alternative electronic duo with her partner, producer James Quick.[13] Between them, Wells and Quick have accumulated over two billion streams across platforms through their respective solo work and collaborations with artists such as BTS, the Jonas Brothers, Baynk, Tinashe, and ILLENIUM.
The duo debuted with the single "u + me" in August 2025, followed by "Monster," a collaboration with William Black released on Lost In Dreams Records. "Monster" is structured as a duet exploring themes of toxic relationships from dual perspectives. baby blue further expanded their catalog with two featured appearances on Said the Sky's acoustic album Salt & Silence (January 2026): "Let Me Fall," a track that shifts from bright vocals into darker tones, and "Wings," a contemplative piece centered on healing.[14]
