London upstart Nilüfer Yanya does a lot with a little on “Baby Luv.” The song spotlights her insistent guitar strums, her urgent vocals, and little else. Yanya makes the best of repetition, wielding certain words and phrases like blunt instruments. When she asks, “Do you like pain?” she follows the question with a single word—“again”—saying it over and over again until the word turns numb. It’s a great example of her restraint as a songwriter: Instead of spelling things out in bright red block letters, she selects a couple of choice words and blows them up for maximum impact. When she sings “call me sometime” in the song’s bridge, the familiar phrase assumes a new and menacing shape. –Madison Bloom

来自伦敦的年轻新贵 Nilüfer Yanya 在“Baby Luv”中成功以小博大。这首歌有以下特点：吉他演奏贯穿整曲，歌手嗓音急切等。Yanya充分利用重复的特点，使用某些单词和短语，营造出让人麻木的效果。她唱道：“你喜欢疼痛吗？”随后用一个词——“再次”——回答，一遍又一遍地唱，直到这个词让人变得麻木。这首歌很好地体现了Yanya作为一个创作者所具有的克制的创作风格。她不是用鲜红的正体大写字母表达情感，而是精选了几个词，然后过分渲染以获得最佳效果。她在歌曲的桥段唱道“有空打我电话”，此时这个熟悉的短语却带有一种威胁性含义。
