Hak Baker Returns With Poignant Coming-Of-Age Story "Cool Kids"


September 10, 2021

Hak Baker reveals "Cool Kids", the lead single from an as-yet-untitled new project, which is set to land later this year.

Delivered in his East London twang, he explores the societal pressures felt by young boys growing up and the urgency to want more for yourself, and the battle to resist the temptations that constantly surround you.

Adding a little context, Baker says of the track: "'Cool Kids' is about that same story we see up and down the country. Short-term goals syndrome. When your dreams are unspoken of, what else have you got?"

"Cool Kids" arrives with a fresh set of visuals directed by Robson-Scott, which mirrors the narrative's realism. While Hak prepares to release the new project, his first since 2019's Babylon EP, tap into his new sounds below.
