| Description | “Find My Baby” is the second track from American electronica musician Moby’s studio album Play, released on May 17, 1999. The song is based on a heavy sample from “Joe Lee’s Rock” by Roland “Boy Blue” Hayes, a song included in the box set Sounds of the South: A Musical Journey from the Georgia Sea Islands to the Mississippi Delta, released in 1993 and recorded on field by the ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax. After the massive breakout of the album, due to an extremely successful promotion via licenses for advertisements, films and TV series, an impressive bunch of eight singles have been extracted by Play: “Find My Baby” was the last one, and it was released on November 2000, accompanied by an official video, directed by the film-making duo Barnaby & Scott. As some other clips for Play’s tracks, it is a satirical piece of visual art: in it, Moby mocks the musical industry and, particularly, the boy-bands, whose young members (literally represented by three… babies) are exploited by their producers for their good-looking appearance, rather than for their music. |
