EP BREAKDOWN
On What Can I, a freestyle recorded in under an hour, the artist pines after the object of his affection; as he wonders what he can do to win her love. Despite the brooding lyrical content, the afro-pop track features a slew of instruments such as the piano, saxophone and drums; which all contribute towards a bouncy, vibrant and layered soundscape where the artist’s voice is allowed to shine.
Red Light Interlude is different from what we might expect from the artist. Featuring 808s and a heavy bass, the sensual; sultry track showcases a side to Nu Baby that we have previously not encountered. The bridge features a rap-like bar; where the artist employs a baritone to deliver a memorable lyric to the object of bis seduction. This lyrical quality, combined with the song’s vocal range and outstanding production; easily make red light interlude one of Nu’s strongest tracks.
The final song, Danc/O, is the result of many months of experimentation and re-working done by the artist and producers. Nü Baby delivers playful lyrics in a honey-sweet tone over a bouncy track; that features many layers of sound- from drums to the xylophone to a lagbaja sample. These elements all work perfectly together to create an outstanding; infectious dance track that is lighthearted while also retaining incredible replay value. All The Love I Need is Nu Baby’s bold and boisterous return to the music scene; a defining project that highlights his growth as an artist.
