Picking up the shattered pieces of yourself is a tall order of assiduity. Your hands are left with cuts and scars that divulge to the world everything wasn't always okay. It is a grueling task best journeyed through music, and artist Baby Cate's four-song extended play entitled "Self Love" takes that journey and shows personal betterment on the back end.
Working in the realms of alternative hip hop and pop production, "Self Love" is for the people looking for taboo feelings expressed regularly in records of those genres. The opening song "Move On" points the music in a direction toward dropping bad habits. Quivery vocoder vocals on the chorus, shadowboxing flows in the verse and cadaverous chords with a looping melody cough up notions of beating fear, forever ingrained by an outro guitar solo stoking an eternal flame.
Baby Cate's "Xmas '17" interlude in just under a minute simultaneously unwraps feelings of warmth and security using an audio sample of her family dusted with a touch of loneliness courtesy of a snowing keyboard melody. Her self-written and self-produced closing song "We Good" channels reckless abandon energy, ostensibly bringing to mind The Smashing Pumpkins' adolescent classic "1979." The music ends up in a more comfortable place than when it started. You will want to be in the same boat as a result. And who could deny wanting that for themselves?
