eh eh
Delphine isn’t exactly talking yet, but she vocalizes plenty, and we like to record her chirps and grumbles. She specializes in the eh-eh, a cute little rhythmic burbling that sounds like the far-off suggestion of a full-fledged wail. Here’s a video of the eh-eh, heading into crying territory.
Apparently, the eh-eh is not original to Delphine. As the New Yorker’s pop-music critic pointed out a few weeks ago, musician The-Dream (yeah, that hyphen’s supposed to be there) uses the eh-eh as his auditory calling card.
Want to hear The-Dream’s slower, mellower version of the eh-eh? It’s in the background at the start of J. Holiday’s R&B ballad “Bed.”
