The creative producer is no stranger to taking familiar sounds and making them his own, as heard on impeccable tracks like “Don’t Cry“, and for this comeback he is sharper than ever. “Echoes in the Mind” is engulfed in crisp melodies and soothing dynamics that make it feel refreshing and ultimately impressive. Over surreal lyricism that deals with perception and love, the Cognac-based artist wanders through a rich landscape filled with pop sensibility perfectly tied to his jazz and soulful roots as well as neat new wave musings.
“Echoes in the Mind” is the product of an artist who knows his artistry intimately and is willing to expand and build upon it from the inside. The classically-trained musician and multi-instrumentalist delivers a track that feels shrouded in softness, firmly rooted in spacious ambience and ethereal melodies. Baaj does a great job in reinterpreting 80s pop rock mainstream music through his lenses of originality and innovation, blending several different lines of influences into a singular and cohesive vision.
The new single from Baaj & Baaj is a shimmering ode to the European music from the ’80s and early ’90s, as made by one of today’s most intriguing minds. As his vocals soar through warm and inviting instrumentals, Baaj sounds confident and channels singers like Bono and Bowie with surprising ease. “Echoes in the Mind” stands as an uplifting display of retrofuturism production created with palpable passion, making it a perfect single to kickstart a brand-new chapter in his career.
