Ariana Grande had the most '90s throwback moments in "Baby I"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Saturday, September 7, 2013

Ariana Grande continues her debut album release celebration and takes a time machine back to 1993 and throws a block party in her sunny visual for her new single, "Baby I," the second single from her newly-released debut studio album, "Yours Truly," which premiered at No.1 on last Tuesday by Republic Records. The 20-year-old entertainer is channeling mid-'90s R&B sweetness on her new single, which is all about not being able to fully express how much you are crushing on that special someone.
Follow-up the huge success of her debut single "The Way," the breezy Babyface co-written and produced fun track is an uptempo R&B and pop song that features Grande's big vocals over another snap-worthy R&B beat with its more sophisticated edge as Grande singing, "Baby I got love for thee, so deep inside of me I don't know where to start." It definitely shows off Grande's vocal range and the video matches that. Lyrically, the song is a confession on Grande's behalf admitting a special love for someone and how she can't formulate her strong feelings into words.
The '90s R&B music influence demonstrated in "Baby I," which has also musically present on the rest of her debut album. Additionally, '70s disco energy is also present in the song like Mariah Carey gone retro. In an interview, Grande opined that "Baby I" was more sophisticated and mature than her previous hit single "The Way," which was part of what made her excited to release the song. With her deftness with the blue-eyed soul genre, Grande sings as though she is wise beyond her years, and succeeded in meeting the bar where she set it with her debut, while her extraordinary vocal performance runs as nothing short of everything.
Travel back to the 90s, Grande takes fans for a ride on the "Baby I" Express down Nostalgia Road in her summery clip in which shows the 'Victorious' alum in a variety of settings including dancing in the streets, riding on top of a white convertible, commanding a choreography on a rooftop, and partying on a bus cruising around town, and hanging with friends while showing off some cute fashions and sporting some choreographed dance moves. The Florida pop singer looks stunningly beautiful as she soaks up the sun's rays, and melts hearts smiling to the camera, while wearing both sexy and old-school fashion outfits in the colorful visual.
