Album Notes & Community Reviews
On 'Baby', Dijon expands his experimental approach to R&B and soul, combining a freewheeling, analog sensibility with a glitchy and fragmented production style that incorporates distorted samples, fried instrumentation, and stacked, manipulated vocals. The album's songwriting maintains an emotional core, with themes of new fatherhood and domesticity providing a throughline for its often chaotic and maximalist soundscapes. This results in a tightly arranged yet sonically expansive work that juxtaposes warm, soulful performances with avant-garde electronic textures and noise.
