Concert Review: Baynk Makes You Be In Love At Bowery

Surrounded by his own name in lights, Baynk’s success is, literally, derived by the feeling that he is the “party boy” you, actually, want to party with. The “party boy” image is a double-edged sword. On on one hand, “the party boy” is the guy having a good time while also being the guy that needs to get his life together. Yet, Baynk lights up the party by, literally, being the most talented guy in the room.

There is a casual elegance to Baynk’s style. He shimmies through synth-waves and the sax like, “Yeah, I am a multi-instrumentalist, no biggie!” His ability to be aloofly impressive, obviously, lit up the crowd and drew them even more to him. I always say there is nothing like humility to make people like you more. Yet, make no mistake! Meekness is not a snoozy demeanor of “Oh me! No, I am not that great!” Baynk KNOWS he is awesome and had a room full of people eager to tell him. Their connection to him was like metal to magnets; clinging together with a natural ease. 

Having a set of a square that lit up into different colors and pattern, Baynk looked like he was trapped in a big screen, and you were watching him like Netflix. His songs such as “Years,” “Come Home,” and “Be In Love” became like different series all filed under “Romantic Movies.” Yet, his rhythms were not your classic, Dorris Day romance. Instead, they showed the new, more youthful version of what it is to be in love, which, in essence, is to be chill. Nowadays, Millennials are looking for a partner that is not simply about looking glam at a party as much as watch a movie, have super strange, inside jokes, and can feel cozy in silent embraces.

Baynk plays for the art of being, which is why his arrangements are a dichotomy between relax and chill. Even his voice, when singing, felt stabile and abiding to the rhythm; making him the equivalent of solid fun. When he stepped out of his “tv-style” box to do some high-kicks and high-five the crowd, he felt like a fun-loving big-kid or a “party boy.” Yet, again, he elevates the term by backing his love for a hyped audience with a symphonic romanticism.
