HOT!!
author: Tim Dillinger
Over the course of 14 tracks (with not one worth skipping over), you will hear beats that are hip-hop, yet tribal, world music...musical accompaniment that channels everything that was great about the 80s (the bassline alone on the title track is worth the price of the album), vocals that are soulful and slick, and lyrics that are crafty and cunning: you will laugh, fantasize, pose, think and evaluate.
I think what makes this album such a winner is that Baron succeeds across the board: he's not just the voice, he's the writer, producer, and driver of the image. If Grace Jones were a man and if T Bone Burnett produced hip-hop, they 'd be Baron.
Celebrity has the juice to take Baron beyond the indie scene. He is an icon. Period.

Way to go Baron!
author: David A. Richardson
When I first saw Baron perform in Washington, DC a couple of months ago, I knew he was a remarkable artists. But when I purchased "Celebrity" he only took his talents to a new height showing how creative and versatile he is. I love this CD, aside from the hypnotic arrangements in each song, I am thoroughly impressed with how much control he has over his work, being the writer of all his material and vocalist, he is also the executive producer and designer, it shows how much pride and respect an artist has for their work when they make the final decisions before it gets into the hands of their fans. Way to go Baron, "Celebrity" gets me out of the bed each morniing and puts the pep in my step. Can't wait for your next work!
