When Rema teases a snippet, the internet listens. And when he finally drops the full track, the internet erupts. His latest release, “Baby”, from the upcoming album “Is It a Crime?”, is exactly what we expected, but also not.
Known for his unconventional sound and refusal to chase trends, Rema has once again carved his own lane. “Baby” leans into Afro-swing, a genre he hasn’t explored in a while, making it a refreshing addition to his already diverse catalog. The track carries a slow, sultry rhythm, a vibe reminiscent of Burna Boy’s signature style. Yet, Rema doesn’t just borrow, he reinvents. He takes the groove and makes it unmistakably “REMA” layering it with the Gen Z-infused lyricism and cadence that have become his trademark.
From the first beat, “Baby” pulls you in, wrapping you in its hypnotic flow. It’s the kind of song you sway to without realizing, the perfect balance between chill and captivating. The production is crisp, the melody lingers, and the overall execution is near flawless. If we’re talking ratings, this one’s a solid 9/10.
Here’s where it gets interesting, Rema doesn’t just follow a formula; he experiments. “Baby” is proof that he’s always looking for new ways to evolve his sound while staying true to his unique style. If this track is any indication of what “Is It a Crime?” has in store, then we’re in for something special.
