Baauer is set to captivate listeners once again with his third studio album titled U, scheduled for release on June 12th via the prominent indie label LuckyMe. Known for his groundbreaking 2012 hit 'Harlem Shake', Harrison Bauer Rodrigues—better recognized by his moniker Baauer—has crafted a fresh auditory experience after a six-year hiatus from album releases.
The 16-track collection was executive produced by Hudson Mohawke, adding brilliant layers to the already dynamic soundscape. The album promises collaborations with notable artists like Aluna, KUČKA, Brazy, and Betsy, vividly expanding its sonic range.
In a revival influenced by the electrifying spirit of BBC Radio 1 dance shows and the bloghouse era, U draws inspiration from energetic radio mixes, crafting a project that bridges nostalgia with innovation. The development process of the album also garnered fan engagement, as Baauer streamed some of these sessions live on Twitch, creating a community-rooted experience.
Listeners eager to immerse themselves in this new endeavor can stay tuned by following official releases on major streaming platforms.
