Kromproom – Come On Baby: A Sonic Manifest of Freedom and Inner Strength

Kromproom – Come On Baby
(from the compilation “Beatroom 02”)

In this image, a ballerina stands on her toes in the middle of an empty road. The asphalt beneath her feet is rough and cracked – far from the smooth stage where dancing usually feels effortless, under the glow of spotlights. It’s a picture filled with tension – between delicacy and the harshness of life, between dreams and pressure, between who we want to be and who others want us to become.

“Come On Baby” is more than just a track – it’s an emotional manifesto. It’s a sonic portrayal of childhood that’s often led by the ambitions of others. Many parents see in their children a reflection of their own unfulfilled desires. They push them toward goals they themselves never achieved, trying to heal their own egos rather than nurture the child’s soul. As a result, the child dances on hard asphalt – in a place that was never their choice.

But the same mechanism also works in the opposite direction. There are people who don’t push – they hold you back. Who will do anything to stop your growth, to keep you from rising higher, from stepping out of the shadows, from becoming “better” than them. It’s a different kind of pressure – silent control, driven by fear and jealousy. In both cases, the common denominator is the same: the desire to dim someone else’s light instead of letting it shine on its own.

This track and its symbolism form a quiet protest against living in the name of other people’s dreams – whether imposed by ambition or suffocated by fear. It shows how easily beauty and passion can be distorted when they become an extension of someone’s ego rather than an expression of an authentic self.

A child – and every human being – should grow in the light of their own interests, in the rhythm of their own heart, not in the rhythm of others’ unfulfilled desires or imposed limits. Only then will their dance – whether on stage or in life – be true, honest, and free.

“Come On Baby” is a call – not to obedience, but to awakening. It’s a voice that says: find your own rhythm, even if you have to dance amidst the roughness of the world.

The track “Come On Baby” by Kromproom appears on the compilation “Beatroom 02” – a project that unites independent electronic artists, showcasing their diverse emotions, visions, and sounds. Kromproom brings to this collection a unique depth – music that not only pulses with rhythm but also tells a story. A story about freedom, identity, and the courage to be yourself – even if it means dancing on asphalt.

The music video for the track was created using beautiful, moving footage by artists from Pexels, edited and assembled by Kromproom himself. The color grading was done by his friend and visual artist MIPS, who gave the video a unique emotional tone – perfectly aligned with the music’s message.
