BARON'S - Doesn’t Really Matter
Doesn't Really Matter, a song featured on BARON’s new album Never Alone, is a crossroad track. The piece sits on the intersection between indie pop and synth-infused electronica. A magical combination that keeps you yearning for more. This is the song you would play to speak to your confident alter ego. A strong, energetic piece that has a smooth, laid-back groove and a hypnotic synth line. This creates an immersive atmosphere, instantly intimate yet sonically polished. The track has a unique balance that gives listeners both energy and emotional depth, especially with the hook. Repetition of certain phrases creates a resonant space for connection. Even though the phrasing at times might sound dismissive, it is still delivered with vulnerability. This turns the song into an emotional assertion. The record as a whole works with sparse and layered synth pads. Doesn't Really Matter has a punch percussion backing it, which gives space for the vocals to settle. Elements like the use of sub-bass are used deliberately to add texture to the layers. We also hear crisp drums. These add momentum to the track and add a certain bounce that makes the song sound soulful without overpowering the vibe. Overall, the song strikes a good balance between earworm and background accompaniment. The vibe is mainly driven by the production mood. Instead of explicit narratives, lyric repetition, and vocal tone evoke emotion. The track sounds like a smooth fit for a movie that works with themes of growing up, letting go, or discovering identity. Something like Eighth Grade (2018).
