“Baby Don’t Cry” is a dose of throwback pop, conjured by San Francisco artist Lucinda Belle. Recalling a vintage pop sound with touches of jazz, gypsy soul, and blues – reminiscent of Amy Winehouse – Belle shows ample charm throughout. The reflective “baby don’t cry,” vocal backing complements Belle’s striking lead, which resonates especially well as the strings creep in around the three-minute mark. This is a playful track that merges the past and present into a delectable pop-forward sound; Belle’s soulful vocals and general charisma lead the way on this enjoyable track.
