“Slow Burn” by Baby Rose and the band BADBADNOTGOOD walks a fine line between promise and missed chances. While aiming for reflective sorrow, the song more often than not veers into a state of lifelessness and predictability – struggling to truly capture and convey genuine feelings. Baby Rose‘s vocal delivery, marked by a peculiar muffled quality that sometimes sounds like she is singing with something in her mouth, presents endearing moments with a raw realness – yet occasionally misses the mark. Despite its lack of variation, the repetitive melody offers something of a comforting familiarity that grounds listeners in the thick of the song’s emotional tour. Likewise, the lyrics risk losing impact due to excessive repetition. Yet those same lyrics also offer opportunities for introspection and personal reflection – letting listeners recognize themselves in Rose’s story. So, for all its flaws “Slow Burn” has enough glimpses of potential and what it could be to remain noteworthy, hopefully encouraging listeners to embrace its strengths and explore its weaknesses.
