Surfaces, Baby Blue | Song Review 🎵

Pop duo Surfaces maintain good vibes with their short but sweet single, “Baby Blue,” sure to keep summer alive and well into winter. 

When it comes to 🎙️ Surfaces, the listener is treated to feel-good, innocent, inoffensive pop.  Curse words aren’t a requirement to make lit 🔥 records, after all, even in 2023. The duo was electric on their hit, 🎵 “Sunday Best”, still their biggest claim to fame. On the brief 🎵 “Baby Blue”, 🎙️ Forrest Frank and 🎙️ Colin Padalecki drop another pleasant, respectable pop song.  Here, those baby blue eyes are kind of a big deal. Understandable!

Forrest sings the majority of the song, including the chorus, which appears at the top of the song: “She’s got that baby blue, eyes you can sink into / Heatwaves in Malibu, she’s got that (wait), she’s got that.” In the verses, both he and Colin characterize her specialness.  In the first verse, Forrest asserts, “I, I was hoping we’d be more than just friends / Ah, it’s like an ocean and she’s pulling me in.” As for Colin, in the second verse, he sings, “And she’s a vacay for my mind, almost every night, from nine to five / Don’t want this dream to ever end, so she won’t ever leave my head.” Ooh-wee.  Backed by exuberant production (Colin, Forrest, and 🎛️ Simon Oscroft), it’s all good vibes as they desire her company (“Hope we can rendezvous…”).  All told, 🎵 “Baby Blue” is enjoyable.  It won’t change your life, mind you, but should provide your playlist with a summery lift well into fall and the wintertime.
