Baby’s Music
Despite all the criticism, Baby’s music made a mark.
Baby is predominately an up-tempo with a backdrop that features a dance-infused beat. Moreover, it incorporates disco string and keyboard synths. Bieber’s strong R & B vocals aptly fit the beat. The song also has some elements of hip-hop and some major dance-pop. It also uses doo-wop music.
Andy Rosen at Rolling stones shared his thoughts on Baby’s music. He wrote, “Blends winks at fifties doo-wop with hip-hop chants”.
So, do you love or hate Baby?
