Wellington artist Louis Baker releases new single So Good and announces his forthcoming EP, Medicine, set for release on October 4th, 2024.

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 70's 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".

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.
