Description
BAIBA´s new album “Delusional” is a bit too much – and that’s ok!
At its core, the album deals with the experience of being a woman in her thirties – and the pressure, contradictions, and expectations that come with it. But instead of presenting a fixed narrative, “Delusional” stays in the middle of it: not sorted, not resolved, sometimes overwhelmed, sometimes clear. It’s about a state where chaos and control, doubt and confidence, freedom and pressure all exist at the same time – and where none of it cancels the other out.
Musically, “Delusional” is as diverse as BAIBA herself. The contrast is part of the concept: bright, synth-driven pop songs meet rougher, garage-leaning indie tracks. Some moments push forward with intensity and rhythm, others open up into atmosphere, nostalgia, and emotional depth. Songs like “Darling” reveal a darker, more cinematic layer – carrying a sense of distance, memory, and bittersweet stillness.
Compared to earlier releases, “Delusional” feels more direct, more driving, and more forward-pushing, continuing BAIBA’s slightly obsessive relationship with pop music, while expanding it further. What holds it together, is contrast rather than resolution: heavy themes and lightness, irony and sincerity, reflection and movement – all existing at once without being smoothed out. The single “Hurricane” captures this energy in its purest form: rebellious, energetic, and unapologetic – about not fitting into expected roles and turning that friction into something powerful.
Visually, BAIBA stays rooted in a DIY aesthetic – playful, slightly overexposed, and intentionally imperfect. A mix of pop nostalgia, early 2000s references, and raw, broken textures. “Delusional” is not about finding clarity. It’s about staying in the mix – and letting that become enough.
