Out of the mouths of babes often come truths that force us all to look in the mirror. This time, it's about the high-strung ways of the grown-up world, and a 10-year-old Minnetonka musician is pulling no punches. Mira Babal, who started to seriously strum, hit, and tickle the ivories at an age when most children were struggling to master "Chopsticks", has captured attention with her “tell-it-like-it-is” song, "Mad for No Reason". The tune makes waves by calling out adults on their frequently sour moods and penchant for being, as the song suggests, mad without a clear cause, a statement obtained by KARE 11.

The young Babal doesn’t just want to sing about problems; she wants to spark a conversation. According to the lyrics deconstructed by the composing prodigy, "Your negativity affects those around you; even when you think you're hiding it." The song, already spun on MPR and The Current, goes on to criticize how the pandemic has seemingly diminished our ability to communicate properly with each another. She believes it's high time to re-learn, as per KARE 11.

In support of her musical message, Babal released a music video for "Mad for No Reason", intensifying her call for a return to harmony and contentment post-COVID. On her she queried, "Why can't there be more peace and happiness with how we deal with each other and ourselves?" It's a poignant question from a young soul who observes a world of adults seemingly trapped in a cycle of discontent and disagreement, according to her YouTube channel.
