After listening to “Bae Bae” by Ruger and BNXN, I think the song brings a fresh take on modern Afro-fusion, blending smooth melodies with relatable, conversational lyrics. The title “Bae Bae” is a casual endearment, hinting at the playful yet intimate tone of the song. It revolves around themes of romance and the ups and downs of long-distance relationships, as the lyrics explore moments of longing and excitement, especially in lines like “How you go say I no miss you, bae-bae?”
This song, I’d say, is memorable for its catchy beats and lyrics that add a relaxed vibe, making it easy for fans of Afrobeat to connect with. Ruger and BNXN (Buju) complement each other’s styles well here. Ruger’s vocal charm pairs nicely with BNXN’s mellow flow, creating a laid-back yet engaging rhythm.
One thing I liked about “Bae Bae” is how it taps into the Afro-fusion genre’s appeal, using a balance of Nigerian slang and English lyrics, which could easily resonate with a global audience. However, I felt that some repetitive phrases could have been more varied to keep the song feeling fresh throughout. Still, if you’re a fan of Afro-fusion, this track is worth a listen.
