Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter and Producer Frances Baker has released her new EP, Isabella’s House, leaning into the ethereal and haunting. A fan of Folk and Blues, Baker created her first EP in parents’ basement during the pandemic. It set her on a path to a UK tour supporting Arlo Parks.

Isabella’s House is Baker’s most intentional work to date.

She shares:

I’ve always made music in a ‘go with the flow’ kind of way. But this time, I took a long pause and asked myself—who do I really want to be? A big relationship ended, and I realized… sometimes even the people closest to us don’t truly know us.

I thought about what really mattered to me. What I wanted. This project is the curd of boiling all my thoughts down. This is who I am—a girl looking for a getaway, a girl who is who she is.

Baker says about the EP’s title track:

Isabella’s House’ is strings ringing like John Barry melodies… lyrics soaked in escapism. It sweeps you away into a moonlit adventure in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. My dream. Candlelit bedrooms and paintings of woe.

Maybe I’m a daydreamer. Maybe I’m an escape artist. Isabella’s House is a series of invitations into fantastical moments—falling in love, running away from parties, dreaming of museum hideaways. It’s where I spend most of my time: in my head, dreaming.
