New Zealand soul royalty Louis Baker reveals sensual new video for latest single ‘Addict’ and announces his return to Australia.

"His honest lyrics and melodies are a real stand out, which never fail to strike a chord." - MTV

Wellington soul singer, songwriter and tearjerker Louis Baker has made quite a recognisable name for himself across the globe with his compelling blend of Motown and RnB. His latest single 'Addict' is a sensual, slow groove number now sporting a highly complimentary visual accompaniment.

'Addict' is the follow up single to its predecessor 'Gave It All Away' - the hit single that pricked ears both at home and afar with Double J and the UK's BBC Radio 6, as well as gaining him a spot on Red Bull Music's 20 before 17 list. Not shying away from the spotlight, 'Addict' certainly backs up this acclaim, but with a shift from the acoustic and upbeat, to the sensual, electronic and restrained. Vocally, the track is the closest you can get to Baker's love-stoned live delivery that can somehow hold in its grasp equal parts manic desire and raw vulnerability.

The music video features a suave, leather jacket clad Baker as the personal driver of a woman, cruising the streets of Brooklyn, New York on a night of gambling. Complete with dimly lit streets, colour-saturated clubs and glimpses through a rear-view mirror lens, the Shae Sterling directed film clip pays homage to an era of iconic 70s and 80s film combined with a clean modern look. The perfect encapsulation of the intense lust that about bursts from the single's seams.

"The video is the perfect visual depiction of what the song sounds like."
