Devendra Banhart - Baby
Ladies and gents we have a hot song on our hands today. It’s off Devendra Banhart’s brand new album What Will We Be - a true fall highlight if I may say so. Banhart’s special recipe of folk is back again and it’s sounding brilliant. “Baby” is a ridiculously instantly like-able tune, much more of the pop/rock variety. Tell me you don’t want to soundtrack this next time you walk down a sunny path by the beach rocking some hip shades and a wide smile. This song has a very warm, upbeat rhythm - the kind that makes fans want to clap along at concerts. Also worth mentioning are the guitar riffs in this song, which are so perfect they excuse the whole campy oldies thing. As for the rest of the album, expect a great variety of instruments and Banhart’s typically stellar songwriting to blow you away. Other tracks not to miss are “Can’t Help But Smiling” and “Goin Back.” Yet another fine album before 2009 closes out!
