Electrifying – that’s the most fitting term we can apply to ‘Nepo Baby’. Built on bold and fierce indie-pop stylings, the song features a healthy amount of fuzzy and overdriven guitars, making for a listening experience that’s upfront and uplifting, hitting the listeners right in the face, although with a certain elegance and savoir-faire.
Tom Tippin’s charismatic vocals are the perfect match for such a powerful tune; packed with confidence and malleable harmonies, they seem to find their true identity in a bath of distortion and modulation, making Tom stand out in a quirky and unique way. Nothing unexpected from the Nashville-based songster, here further expressing his talent and building a career on solid foundations.
‘Nepo Baby’ is way more personal than one could imagine. The son of popular country artist Aaron Tippin, Tom has always had to deal with the shadow of such a prominent figure, being careful to empower himself in the face of others. As he explains: “I’ve always been cautious about using my dad’s name around town, being worried I wouldn’t be taken as seriously as a musician, that I’d be labelled as a ‘nepo baby’”.
