“Pelham Parkway” by Babyboii is an unapologetic reflection of his emotions and personal experiences. This single transports listeners straight into the heart of New York City, where many of the moments he shares in the track take place. As the son of Colombian immigrants, Babyboii spent much of his time in New York, often recording while riding the subway in the Bronx capturing the raw, unfiltered energy of the city. Drawing from past relationships, anxiety struggles, and everyday moments, he blends personal storytelling with a deep connection to place. The result is a smooth, mellow track with calming vibes that make it a perfect stress reliever and a thoughtful addition to any late-night or reflective playlist.
The song’s production complements Babyboii’s emotional honesty, allowing his vocals and lyrics to take center stage. He expressed how naturally the writing process came to him: I sat down to write the song, and it was just sitting there. That effortless flow is felt throughout the track, making it sound authentic rather than forced. Inspired by artists like Ariana Grande, Babyboii leans into vulnerability without hesitation, using his voice not just to sing but to connect. The sincerity in his tone adds depth, creating a listening experience that feels both intimate and real.
“Pelham Parkway” balances calmness and catchiness through its easy rhythm and mellow production, never overpowering the message. The soft, soothing sound acts almost like therapy something Babyboii himself credits with helping him manage anxiety without the need for medication. The lyrics, while simple in delivery, carry emotional weight that many listeners will relate to. With his debut 14 track album scheduled for release later in 2025, this single serves as an impressive introduction to Babyboii’s musical journey. If this track is any indication, he’s building not just music, but meaningful connections through sound.
