Bazzi, Paradise | Track Review

After earning success with his debut album (COSMIC), Rising pop and R&B singer Bazzi returns with a dripping, carefree single, “Paradise.”

“Let’s go to (Paradise) / This shit feels like Friday nights / This shit make me feel alive / I feel like we in paradise, paradise.” That’s a pretty compelling picture of paradise, don’t you think? After wowing with his debut LP, COSMIC, in 2018, rising pop and R&B singer Bazzi returned with brand-new music in 2019 in advance of his sophomore LP.  Among his new songs are “Caught in the Fire” and the song at hand, “Paradise,” which just happens to appear on the playlist 13 Songs Associated with Heaven and/or Paradise. For the 21-year old musician, the vibes are good – the optimism is through the roof.

“I’m gettin’ lucky like coins in the well / Goodbye to my haters, I’m wishin’ you well.” Bazzi’s idea of paradise encompasses love/sex (“Hands on your body, I’m grabbin’ your ass”) and partying and popping drinks (“Well, my drink is almost out and I’m about to pour another”). A good way to sum up “Paradise” – the drip is real. Friday night, totally carefree vibes.  The weekend! Additionally, the “Paradise” is respectably and effectively produced, shining brightest during the chorus section (excerpted at the beginning).

Final Thoughts

All in all, Bazzi shines on “Paradise.”  No, the 21-year old’s take on paradise won’t change your life per se, but it’s enjoyable and crowd-pleasing by all means.  Bazzi delivers respectable vocals, chocked-full of swagger, and he’s backed by respectable production work as well.
