Background

edit

After Rauw Alejandro released "Bzrp Music Sessions #56" with Bizarrap, at the end of the video for that song it was shown that their second collaboration, "Baby Hello", would be released on June 23, 2023.[3]

Music video

edit

The music video was published simultaneously with the song at dawn on June 23, 2023, on Rauw Alejandro's YouTube channel.[4] The visual piece is set in a kind of beach on the lunar surface and shows the union of earthlings and aliens in the midst of emotion and euphoria, which reflects the energy of the song. It was directed by Martín Seipel and Rauw Alejandro "el Zorro" and recorded in the city of Miami.[5][6]

Critical reception

edit

Various outlets highlight the mix of electronic and urban rhythms in the song, which "manages to transport us to the origin of EDM music and the legendary 'raves' of the 90s sic", in addition to calling it the "perfect counterpart" from "Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 56".[7][8][9]

The Spanish newspaper El Mundo described it as "another attempt to have one of the hits of the summer in 2023" and, similarly, Cinthya Castaño of the Colombian television channel Red+ claimed that "it promises to become a hit for this semester of 2023".[10]
