Roy Lucian Baza is back, pushing artistic boundaries further with his latest single, ‘Does Your Girlfriend Know About Me?’ This track serves as the centrepiece of his eagerly awaited sophomore album, Loverboy Lucian, and showcases Baza’s evolution as a multi-faceted artist.
At 29, the artist formerly known as Dom Baza has undergone a transformative journey, emerging from a hiatus marked by his battle with glaucoma. This chapter is characterised by a commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and a deep exploration of his musical identity. With his previous album Roy, Baza successfully blended pop, funk, and synth-pop influences, crafting a sound that resonates with a broad audience while reflecting his personal growth.
‘Does Your Girlfriend Know About Me?’ exemplifies this evolution with a chill, funky pop vibe that’s both catchy and introspective. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Brandy, Ariana Grande, and Usher, Baza navigates the complexities of secretive relationships through a playful lens. The 80s-inspired grooves paired with modern production create a soundscape that feels both fresh and nostalgic, allowing listeners to effortlessly connect with the narrative.
“This song represents an evolution within my sound,” Baza explains. “It offers a different perspective from what I’m known for and reflects an exciting shift in how I want to be perceived as an artist.”
Accompanying the single is a vibrant music video that further cements Baza’s status as a multi-talented performer. As the creative director, he infuses the visuals with his unique flair, creating a stylish, tongue-in-cheek representation of the song’s themes. The captivating imagery and lively performances not only enhance the track but also invite viewers into Baza’s narrative universe.
‘Does Your Girlfriend Know About Me?’ is a sonic gem that marries timeless appeal with modern sensibilities, marking a pivotal moment in Baza's artistic journey. With Loverboy Lucian, he continues to draw from a rich palette of influences—think The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, and Prince—crafting an alt-pop sound that’s sophisticated and euphoric. This single is not just a step forward; it’s a celebration of the diverse experiences that shape Roy Lucian Baza as an artist and individual.
