Rising pop artist Pop Baby has recently unveiled his latest single, “Jimmy D,” now available on all major platforms. Inspired by his hometown nightclub, “Jimmy D’s on Carson,” in Pittsburgh’s Southside, this catchy track came to life the day after Pop Baby’s first visit to the venue.
Originating from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Pop Baby embarked on his musical odyssey at a young age, mastering the piano and diving into voice and dance during his formative years. Determined to pursue a full-time career in music, he immersed himself in the thriving Pittsburgh music scene and eventually caught the ear of Paul Marshall, an executive at DO IT Records, who recognized Pop Baby’s talent and potential.
Fueled by the intoxicating spirit of the night and the sheer joy of the experience, he collaborated with his producer to create a song that encapsulates the essence of that unforgettable evening. With its electronic-infused and upbeat sound, “Jimmy D” has a magnetic quality that entices listeners to hit the dance floor. Accompanied by an official music video, filmed using his iPhone 11, Pop Baby offers a glimpse into his life during the COVID-19 quarantine. Much like Pop Baby was determined to make the most of life, the video shows that one can still find enjoyment and make life fulfilling even when alone.
The lyrics of “Jimmy D” carry a powerful message, urging listeners to live life on their own terms. It serves as a reminder that waiting for fame or societal validation isn’t necessary to have a good life. Instead, the song encourages everyone to break free from the confines of comfort, embrace their individuality, and embark on their own unique adventures.
