Stoked on this one. Thank you @louisbakermusic and @astonroad for bringing me in on this. I have been fortunate to work with some of Aotearoa’s absolute musical legends in my mahi, and this is right up there. I wanted an edgy soul graphic with hints of Saul Bass to go with the cinema soundtrack vibe. Using the colour of the tee as a colour in the graphic. Beautiful job from @artisanscreenprints image based on the great photo by @i_am_ashley_alexander Big ups on this rekkid Louis. It’s killer right through. Bo!!

The night before the release of Trouble, friends, whānau and music community came together to listen to the record from front to back. Thank you to everyone who came, it was a super special moment to pause and reflect on the record and it felt pretty vulnerable too to be sharing it too. Massive thank you to everyone involved - it takes a village! I appreciate you - @martynpepperell on the Q’s, @rhombusmusicnz on the decks, @tubsaudio, @vogelmorn, @jewelschool88.6, @traceynzbrown Alicia, @astonroad. Thanks to @nickgeorge.creative 🎬

@louisbakermusic is notorious for writing heart-wrenching, soul-stirring ballads, with his own blend of jazz, folk and R&B.

His latest album, Trouble, bears these same hallmarks and somehow takes the listener even deeper. Released today, Trouble sees Louis confronting himself, reflecting on two years of personal growth, creativity and observations of the world.

My second full-length album TROUBLE is out now.

Feeling blessed to be able to share this with you today. The record is a snap shot at the last 2years of writing and creating. There have been many highs and lows and this is the culmination of this time and space. This is me. Listen to this wherever you are - i hope you enjoy this one and that it gives you something positive.

Ngā mihi ki a koutou. A huge shout to all who worked on this one.

Hit me a comment and let me know what you think. Peace, Louis.

Countdown is on. This record’s a long time coming and I’m looking forward to finally sharing these songs and then taking them on the road across Aotearoa this month. Be good to see you there! 🧡

Throwback to one of the funnest music video shoot I’ve done earlier this year.
.
From production assistance, on site electrician to shooting BTS when I could, the step count got hit pretty hard that day. Not to mention the crazy night time shooting alongside @shaesterling during one of Wellington’s heaviest rainfall. I want to say a big thank you to @louisbakermusic & @astonroad for your trust and general awesomeness with this one.
Thank you to all of crew and @meow_nui & @bedlam.squalor for having us on the day too!!
Much love 🫶🏽

Side note: Which one is your favourite?
I really love this first photo of @louisawmusic as it really summarise and embodies the meaning of this tune.

It is with mixed emotions that I share this song with you. Last year, we lost a Mighty Tree. To those in our music community, to the many who were close with him, and especially to his wife and daughter, you know who this song belongs to. A man who told me to run it straight. A man whose music echoed across the globe. A man of great humour, and an uncanny skill to call a spade a spade. This song carries grief, but also is a mihi to the great mana of the man. And in the days that followed his passing, that mana was made visible through the waves of people who paid their respects. People came to honour him, to stand together, to share stories. Music. Tears. Aroha.
So, in sharing this song with you today, I do so with deep respect for a Mighty Tree who blazed his own trail.

Ngā mihi nui
