Following on from his breathtakingly beautiful
single Rainbow, 27-year old singer songwriter, Louis Baker shares Fade:
another leaf out of his anticipated songbook of forthcoming music. The new
song, co-written with Bradford
Ellis and Jemma
Cooke and recorded at Red Bull Studios in London, is a modern
throwback to the golden era of Motown balladeering. Fade is a
slow-burn soul number that first sets Louis Baker’s rich, resonant voice to
sparse piano, before layers of guitar, drums, keys and warm backing vocals
weigh in to support his sentimental tribute to long-distance love.
The journey of Fade as a song began in Albert Einstein's first home in Bern,
Switzerland. “After playing a small and intimate set at this apartment, and
being encored 3 times, I ran out of songs so decided to make one up on the
spot,” says Louis. “Perhaps his creativity sparked something in me. The
following week I travelled to London and Fade was born.”
Reflecting on the creation process of the song, producer and co-writer, Bradford Ellis says: “It was brilliant collaborating with Louis on Fade. He has a timeless
and extremely versatile voice and is a bloody good bloke. NZ has a habit of
producing great soulful artists. Louis feels like the next.”
