Darkness meets playful electro pop in "Baby You Can Hold Me"
Crybaby Claire has created a music video for "Baby You Can Hold Me" that impressively visualises the duality of performance and inner feelings through the nostalgic use of a 2000s camcorder aesthetic. It is fascinating to see how young artists rediscover old technologies and breathe new life into them, which perfectly underlines the moody atmosphere of the song. Despite my age, however, I lack the nostalgia to find the quality of the footage convincing.
With "Baby You Can Hold Me", Crybaby Claire delivers a track that perfectly strikes the balance between melancholy and playful electro pop. The song captivates with its atmospheric synths and carefree vocals, reminiscent of the lightness of the 80s. The minimalist structure and the simple but effective lyrics make the song catchy and ensure that it gets stuck in your head.
The classic drum rolls that run through the song give it a nostalgic touch, while the naive vocals provide a charming contrast to the track's melancholy mood. The production, which was mixed by Vilde Ilkama Nupen and refined by Queer Ear Mastering, leaves nothing to be desired and emphasises Crybaby Claire's unique sound.
Although the song seems rather light at first glance, on closer inspection it reveals a depth that makes you think. The track manages to take the listener on an emotional journey without being heavy-handed. This song is part of our Spotify playlist ‘New Synth Pop Songs 2024‘. The playlist is updated continuously.
