Today Baker introduces the sensually rich single 'So Good'. Influenced by artists like Bobby Caldwell and Minnie Riperton, 'So Good' explores a sonic space that Baker has always loved. Obsessed with Childish Gambino's 'Redbone' and the iconic use of the glockenspiel in 70s soul and R&B baby-making tunes the track is driven by a laid-back groove, with Cory Champion on drums. Baker channels this inspiration into the track, blending classic and modern elements to create a song that is both timeless and contemporary.
Lyrically, the track is an ode to deep connection and intimacy, where Baker poetically paints images of emotional and physical closeness. Baker explains, “This song is about a love that feels like an elixir, something that feeds the soul and body. It’s about connection".
The accompanying visualiser, animated by Jade Paynter, features the slow-motion unfolding of vibrant flowers reflecting the psychedelic symmetry of love’s blossoming and the duality of emotions.
Medicine, out October 4 marks Baker’s third EP and his first as the sole producer, a significant milestone in his career. The 5-track collection is a testament to Baker's bond with his craft—music is his remedy, allowing him to connect with himself and communicate with the world.
