Adolescence is BAYNK’s most meticulous work to date. It revels in eccentric, distinctive details while adhering to traditional pop structures. Most arrangements consist of grainy synth loops, plucky subs, and house-inspired drums; his digital sounds are drenched in reverb and slapped with sidechain. On the Cosmo’s Midnight-assisted “How Does it Feel?” languid synth pulses and a funky bassline give way to some of the sharpest vocal melodies on the album. “Remember,” which features Rainsford, exhibits BAYNK’s talent for peeling a heavily layered song back to its component parts before climaxing into an ecstatic yet graceful drop. This is dance music for headphones, club music for late-night walks.
The best songs on Adolescence bend toward straightforward pop formulas and, tellingly, include non-electronic instruments. “Mine” is led by quiet piano and spacey guitar, while standout “Naked” blends acoustic elements and electric bass with shimmering synths. BAYNK gives his best vocal performances here: “Get caught up on trying to pin you down/Your fingers ’round my neck, they’re feeling soft now," he coos on “Naked,” evoking the warm upper register of Whitney’s Julien Ehrlich. He’s not a great singer, as Tinashe makes plain when she steals the show on “Esther”; he scrubs clean his imperfections with layers of automation, delay, and reverb. Still, BAYNK has a keen ear for melody and knows his limits, wisely ceding the mic to guests while he works the boards.
The album is nominally a concept record about the immediacy of youth and romantic first experiences. “I went through this period of not being able to write anything,” BAYNK told Apple Music. Being in a “stable and happy relationship” wasn’t conducive to inspiration, so to get around his writer’s block, he returned to the creative cocoon of “first love.” Lyrically, the album is imagistic and vague, depicting half-baked scenes of lying in the sun, holding hands in a car, and walking through fields. The narrative never coalesces into anything meaningful, and its emotional pull wanes quickly. First love invigorates but rarely sustains; it’s BAYNK’s elastic and original production that propels the album forward, the pulse of the beat begging us to feel something beyond recognition.

But I know you're guarding
And I'm not begging
I'm just letting you in
Do you feel it different?
I know I want this
And I'm not beggingI'm just letting you in
We're in the back of your car
It's in the back of my mind
I feel your hand on my knee
It kind of feels like you're mine
It kind of feels like you're mine
(It's taking over me)
And now I'm wrapped in your arms
And now our lips are aligned
And now you're moving with me
I got a feeling on fire
I got a feeling on fire
It's getting heavy
I'm running out of air
But I breathe you
It feels better
Do you feel it different?
I know I want this
And I'm not begging
I'm just wrecking myself over you
We're in the back of your carIt's in the back of my mind
I feel your hand on my knee
It kind of feels like you're mine
And now I'm wrapped in your arms
And now our lips are aligned
Ohh, oh, yeah (it's taking over me)
And now you're moving with me
It kind of feels like you're mine
And now we're making some heat
I got a feeling on fire
I got a feeling on fire
I got a feeling, I'm on fire
And it's burning in my mind
I'm not begging
I'm just letting you in
I'm just letting you in
We're in the back of your car
It's in the back of my mind
I feel your hand on my knee
It kind of feels like you're mine
And now I'm wrapped in your arms
And now our lips are aligned
Ohh, oh, yeah (it's taking over me)
And now you're moving with me
It kind of feels like you're mine
And now we're making some heat
I've got a feeling on fire
I got a feeling on fire
It's getting heavy
I'm running out of air
But I breathe you
It feels better
Do you feel it different?
I know I want this
And I'm not begging
I'm just letting you in

You're there shining brightly
You’re visible and seem radiant
But I know you're guarding
But I realize you’re careful or unsure
And I'm not begging
I’m not pleading or insisting
I'm just letting you in
I'm simply allowing you into my life or my heart
Do you feel it different?
Are you experiencing something unusual or unique?
I know I want this
I’m certain that I desire this
We're in the back of your car
We’re sitting in the rear seats of your vehicle
It's in the back of my mind
It's in the recesses of my thoughts
I feel your hand on my knee
I sense your intimate touch
It kind of feels like you're mine
I sense that you belong to me or that we’re linked
And now I'm wrapped in your arms
And now I’m enfolded by your embrace
And now our lips are aligned
And now our mouths are perfectly matched
And now you're moving with me
And now you’re dancing or having sex with me
I got a feeling on fire
I have a passionate, warm sensation
It's getting heavy
We’re getting too serious or too intense
I'm running out of air
I'm struggling or suffocating emotionally
But I breathe you
But you bring me comfort and relief
I'm just wrecking myself over you
I’m allowing myself to be consumed by you
And now we're making some heat
And now we’re producing some sexual energy
I've got a feeling on fire
I have a burning sensation or intense passion
