Having recently joined indie record label Daemon TV, the track marks Baker’s return to releasing for the first time since last June’s haunting ode to drained social batteries, ‘Waiting List’.

Like ’Waiting List’, Baker explores the reality of reaching burnout – hitting an involuntary pause while the world continues around us. From the texts we leave unopened, to the plants that wither from neglect, there are very few who cannot identify with the feeling of getting caught up in the fast pace of modern reality, often at the expense of our own psyche. “As much as it’s a song about not being able to look after your plants very well,” Baker explained on social media, “it’s also about trying to keep up with the chaos of life”.

Baker’s lyrics are, characteristically, steeped in duality – her introspective approach to song-writing often makes for unadulterated honesty and something that is intrinsically human. Baker is known for broaching themes of mental health, identity and self-exploration, and her latest single is no different.

Sonically though, Baker has taken a different path. Baker embodies a new style entirely in ‘All My Plants Have Died’ – where she has often favoured subtlety, toying with melodic piano accompaniments and soaring orchestral symphonies, Baker has instead opted for fuzzy guitar riffs and frantic percussion. The themes of her lyricism may not be unfamiliar, but the frenzied rocky soundscape of her production explores previously uncharted territory – a messy, as opposed to mellow, side to the struggles of anxiety. The song reaches its summit in the outro, which candidly encapsulates the feeling of a restless mind trying to keep up with the pace and pressures of the everyday. Combining raw vulnerability with zealous angst, Baker voices her inner frustrations with profound relatability – “I’m tired of being so tired”, she declares.

With the possibility of a new EP on the horizon, the near future looks promising for Baker’s following, which has continued to grow steadily since she began releasing music as a mere teenager. If this song is anything to go by, it’s evident Baker is already settling into her new label and beginning to carve a real space for herself artistically, finding confidence within her sound.
