about

‘’Lightly Looms started as a poem written at a small retreat in the south of France. and was quickly transformed into a song with co-writer Edy smith who also plays the keys on the track with producer Andrew Stuart-Buttle providing whistling strings that to me almost sound like distant vocals calling out. With Mixer Oliver Baldwin giving the track that M.Ward Lo-Fi Folk feel. Lyrically its more abstract than most of my other songs, It’s about walking down the street & feeling good about yourself. It’s about just how big the universe is… and about the importance of being able to let go.’’

Bio (Andrew Trendell NME)

Michael is a twice Arts Council Uk supported Anglo-French singer/songwriter who has travelled the world playing his music to anyone and everyone who will listen. Michael spent his childhood near Brighton and got his first guitar aged eight. In his teens, the songs soon started to flow. It wasn’t long before the purity of his voice, the direct rawness of his writing and the sheer scope of his sound found him regular gigs and a devoted fanbase – one that only grew bigger and more in love with the release of his magnificent debut album Dust & Bone which was made while he lived in his van for two and a half years to fund the recording costs.

His sophomore album Salt is a towering accomplishment that will win hearts with its adept handling of love, loss and hope, but there’s more to come. Baker has already written and demoed fourty new songs for his next album (including a genre-bending journey into electronica with Bat For Lashes’ collaborator Ben Christophers). For now though, you’re about to get to know the real Michael Baker. “I feel like I have too much of a personal relationship with anyone who says they like my music,” concludes Baker. “I’ve been getting letters and messages from people saying that my songs have got them through a very hard time, and I don’t know how to reply to them other than as if I’d known them my whole life. That’s the way that I would do it. I hope that my music gives them as much as it’s given me.” This multiple BBC Introducing London supported artist takes nothing for granted and lives for his music. With over 3 Million Youtube streams and 500k catalogue streams he has been supported by The Independent, Clash, Atwood, Earmilk, Mahogany. Album three ‘How Come You Sleep’ due out in Feb 2021. a 4th album underway with producer Luke Potashnick (Alberta Cross, Tom The Lion) 2021 is going to be a busy year.

lyrics

Lightly looms those lovely lines
Tall the moon tie the sky
For June is youth violet sky
Tooth for tooth eye for eye

I’m caught up in a good place
So pass the kite
But how to let it go?
My cynical demeanour is my palindrome

Or maybe I’m just lost inside these walls

My fever grows with my distain
So tie the moon to this place
Don’t I deserve my own space?
Is it tooth for tooth
Or violent days

I’m caught up in a good place
So pass the kite
But how to let it go
My cynical demeanour is my palindrome

Or maybe I’m just lost inside these walls
