It has that beautiful retro feel that is exuded by the Eylsia Nicolas in her song, Youre My Baby 2 that leaves you smiling immediately. It combines this clean groove with enthusiastic and emotional vocals that are nostalgic and entirely new at the same time. The fact that Eylsia has been through the international tennis court to finding her voice again after a serious health cheque-up gives this added touch of emotion to every note that she sings.
It is a gorgeous tight and balanced production with a warm bass and clear percussion that gets the mood right at the very beginning of the production. It is easy to feel the effort that went into making this sound, allowing every piece to breathe and collaborate with one another to produce something that is polished and at the same time not sterile. It is very clever the way it opens up to allow the fervent chorus to truly shine and that hook is truly memorable, the sort that gets in your head in the most positive way possible.
The most remarkable aspect is the spirit that is channelled through the song. This soulful storytelling is really personal and Eylsia incorporates the elements of modern country, gospel and Christian contemporary into her vocals. Her phrasing has an expressive nature that implies actual lived experience, which is understandable given the fact that she has gone through everything to get back to music.
This song is even more victorious given the fact that she has had to re-construct her voice with the use of better audio devices after damaging her voice during the Covid period. It is not merely a love song, it is a song of endurance, of finding artistic freedom following heartbreak, of returning to fight. It is the type of song that makes you remember why music is important, as it is able to embody happiness and passion and life at the same time. Fantastic work, truly.
