[engl] Anglo-French Singer-Songwriter Michael Baker has come up with a special concept for all fans of genuine, warm Indie- Folk music: For June 2nd, he announces his digital EP “Freak” as well as an extended album version of “Freak” only available on vinyl published by LOTTE LINDENBERG Records. Making a plea for a joint return to times before Spotify, iTunes and Co., the digital EP includes only four tracks whereas the “Freak” album on vinyl offers a broader song collection of eight songs. The title track “Freak” perfectly emphasizes this nostalgic vibe: “The song explores feelings of sentimentality as well as feeling outcast or different. But it’s also about finding your groove again”, says Michael about the song. The eight tracks on the “Freak” vinyl give a more detailed insight into the mind of the singer- songwriter: Songs about ADHD, depression, sadness or self- consciousness create an intimate atmosphere on vinyl, which the singer-songwriter also creates live on stage. Michael Baker has gained a lot of attention in the UK with his performances. In 2022, he made his Glastonbury debut. He has also performed three times at the official Great Escape including being featured by AWAL distribution as one of their ‘artists to watch in 2019’. Moreover, he played live at the Black Deer Festival and the Union Chappel Church in London. The singer-songwriter also gained placements in editorial playlists including Spotify’s “Lost In The Woods”, Apple Music’s “New in Indie” & Deezer’s “Coffee Chill” and has been featured in The Independent, Clash & Mahogany. In 2023, he’ll be playing at Glastonbury Festival again.
