Louis Baker presents his brand new album 'Trouble' around the motu this October!

Louis Baker

Critically acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer Louis Baker returns with a nationwide headline tour celebrating his forthcoming second studio album, Trouble, released on 9 October.

Written, produced and arranged by Baker across 2024 and 2025 from his studio in Titahi Bay, Wellington, Trouble is rooted in timeless songwriting, blending retro-soul influences with contemporary production. Across nine songs, the album unfolds as Baker's most assured work to date, balancing social observation with reflections on love, resilience and the work of confronting himself.

Over the past decade, Baker has established himself as one of Aotearoa New Zealand's most distinctive contemporary soul artists. Renowned for his captivating live performances, expressive guitar playing and rich, soulful vocals, he has built a loyal international following through sheer authenticity and craft. He has toured extensively throughout Australia, Europe, the UK and Aotearoa, sharing stages with artists including Jordan Rakei, Allen Stone and Jamie Lidell, and most recently joined Fat Freddy's Drop on their international tours across Europe, Australia and the UK.
