Dijon Releases 'BABY,' an Experimentally Charged Sophomore Album Rooted in Fatherhood

Recorded late nights at his Los Angeles home, the album reflects Dijon’s leap from behind-the-scenes collaborator to front-facing artist.

Overview

  • BABY’s August 15 release on R&R/Warner followed a public countdown tied to sample clearances that were resolved just before launch.
  • The 12-track record is named after Dijon’s son and was largely written and recorded at home as he navigated early fatherhood.
  • Critics praise its blend of unconventional, layered production and strong pop songwriting, highlighting restless shifts in tone.
  • Dijon’s contributions earlier this year to Bon Iver’s SABLE, fABLE and Justin Bieber’s SWAG helped elevate his mainstream visibility.
  • Album credits spotlight longtime collaborators such as Andrew Sarlo as “deep co-pilot,” alongside Mk.gee, BJ Burton and Henry Kwapis.
