After amassing over a quarter of a billion streams on his first three independently-released EPs, New Zealand-born, London-based artist BAYNK has finally announced his long-awaited debut album for release in January 2022. Titled Adolescence, the album will include previously released singles Esther feat. Tinashe and Mine feat. Cub Sport. New single When I’m Alone was released Friday completing the double-single with How Does It Feel? feat. Cosmo’s Midnight.

BAYNK describes the album as, “A collection of stories from my youth, recorded in my adulthood.”

To accompany the announcement, BAYNK has launched an immersive listening experience and bespoke playlist generator. A collaboration with Pretty Good and featuring the art of Swiss design agency Eurostandard, fans are able to learn about the tracks in BAYNK’s own words and hear a preview of the upcoming album.

As with many of BAYNK’s past releases, Adolescence features a mixture of well curated collaborations throughout the album, as well as some stunning solo recordings. The previously released Esther featuring R&B powerhouse Tinashe has over 4 million streams and is showing no signs of slowing down. Iconic Australian artists Cub Sport, Cosmo’s Midnight and past collaborator Golden Vessel join tracks Mine, How Does It Feel? and Till It’s Even respectively - adding their own flavour to BAYNK’s driving beats. Rainsford, the artist name for Rainey Qualley, adds her ethereal vocals to Remember and Chicago duo Drama lend their R&B vibes on 1Chance. Consistent with his track record of solo releases like Go With U and Poolside, some of the most special moments come from BAYNK’s own lush and dynamic vocals on tracks When I’m Alone and the forthcoming lead single Naked.

BAYNK’s upcoming 26-date headline tour of the United States and Canada has been announced for next year. After his largely sold-out run in 2020, and forthcoming sold out debut performance at XOYO in London this November, his Adolescence tour sees his triumphant return to the road in early 2022. Cosmo’s Midnight, NASAYA, Two Lanes, and more artists to be announced will be opening on the upcoming tour. In addition, several dates in Europe in April of 2022 have just been announced.
