When the lights dim and the mood softens, Korede Bello’s 2020 single, “Hey Baybe,” steps onto the stage. As part of the Table For Two EP, this track is a perfect example of an Afropop slow jam that effortlessly shifts the focus from the dance floor to a more intimate setting. The lyrics of “Hey Baybe” are purely complimentary, operating on a wonderfully casual and simple premise: admiring the beauty of a woman so much that she outshines everything else.
The track serves as a reminder that even as he explores new sounds and collaborations, his foundation remains strong, a commitment to heartfelt, melodic storytelling.
