Blu DeTiger’s second album whirls through New York City’s nightlife landscape, a natural milieu for a Manhattan-born multi-hyphenate who picked up her first bass at age seven. Led by bouncing-ball grooves and DeTiger’s spun-sugar voice, N.Y. Baby creates a world lit by mirror balls, linking high-end clubs and sweaty warehouses through rhythm and the promise of an all-night party. “Makeup” is drawn along by cowbells and jittery rhythms, DeTiger musing on surrealist images that flash by as she travels the world, while the skip-step beat of “Love Trap” adds sweetness to its heart-eyed lyrics. “You know what you are, Blu?/You are a million-dollar baby who stands on front stage,” praises no less of a New York luminary than Flavor Flav at the end of the title track, a lush pop-funk confection assisted by fellow late-night travelers Holly Walker and Say She She. On N.Y. Baby, DeTiger commands the spotlight and invites anyone in earshot to dance along.
