Maisy Taylor – Be My Baby (2022)
Maisy Taylor is using summer love and the tender feelings of infatuation at the start of a relationship to traverse the pop world in ‘Be My Baby’. Adding more pop to her usual pop-folk blend, Taylor uses this track to take us on a melodic journey through love, summer fun and the questioning of where to go from this point. Packed with intimate private moments and the thoughts that flit through your brain during a youthful summer, the single forms a beautiful indie-pop anthem.
Using dainty melodic elements and showcasing the full range of her vocals, Taylor weaves anthemic movements into sensitive tones. Since she picked up her first guitar at the age of 12, Taylor has surrounded herself with music while drawing on diverse influences. Packing her sincerity and authenticity into each note, her music offers a moment of escapism from the pressure of modern life.
‘Be My Baby’ uses a touch of surf tones to create the summer vibes of the single. These tones are washed with a dreamy pop haze that is all warm sun, cool ocean breezes and good vibes. There is something youthful and free about the melody that lifts all the stress and worries of the world from your shoulders. The swaying movement of the instrumentation has you moving to their rhythm, only to breathe in the dainty lighter tones. There is no way to listen to this melody and not feel the carefree vibes that come with summer holidays and days spent having fun with someone. Later in the track, there is a shuffle to the beats that build a crest to the wave of the sound only for everything to drop, allowing the vocals to really shine.
While you are transported to a summer’s day by the music, Taylor’s vocals warm your chest with a tale of instant attraction and the first touch of infatuation. The opening verse offers the first connection and the understanding that there is still time for a summer love before the weather turns. The chorus has a touch more folk to the movement than the rest of the track, but the pop sensibilities really shine through. While her performance has a hint of summer love, there is also a sense that time is running out. This comes through clearly in the intimate and private moments of the track that look at the thoughts floating through her mind in the last weeks of summer.
Maisy Taylor shines the warm rays of summer sun on your skin while delicately searching for a summer romance in ‘Be My Baby’. The music offers the perfect soft sound of summer that warms you and relaxes your muscles. Her vocals have a light folk touch to them as she considers summer love, initial infatuation and the end of summer.
