Bastian Baker To Release Self-titled American Debut Album this October

After taking the United States by storm with his "undeniable charm," "sultry voice" and "witty banter" on Shania Twain's NOW world tour, Swiss singer/songwriterBastian Baker announces the release of a self-titled album on Friday, October 26. Bastian Baker will mark his American debut and fourth studio album. The project follows his first three successful endeavors, including his 2011 certified platinum Tomorrow May Not Be Better, which staked its claim at No. 3 only behind David Guetta and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The "charismatic" (Rolling Stone) singer broke the news exclusively on Hollywood Life yesterday (8/30) and gave fans an exclusive first listen of his new single, "Stay." Hollywood Life reported the new tune "has a bit of a pop beat and some Ed Sheeran meets Keith Urban vibes." The smoldering new track follows the previously released "All Around Us" and "Love On Fire," which are also featured on the album. "Stay" is available today across all digital retailers via Blue Rose Music. Eager to release the "sexy" (Hollywood Life) tune's official music video, the "blue-eyed hunk" (Billboard) surprised fans with an early release on his social media. The video features fellow Switzerland native and runway model Manuela Frey, who was recently announced as the host of the upcoming season of Switzerland's Next Top Model.

Bastian shares, "It's always been a dream of mine to release music in the US... the home of the music I grew up listening to and draw my inspiration from. This record is the best introduction I know to make and is a true reflection of who I am and where I've been. I've met so many wonderful new fans while on tour with Shania the last few months and I can only hope for the chance to meet and perform for many more!"

An avid traveler who's versed in five languages, his "Shawn Mendes meets Thomas Rhett meets Ryan Tedder" vocals (Tampa Bay Times) incorporate multiple elements - pop, country, alternative, singer/songwriter - on this "passion project." Inspired by his decision to dig his American musical roots in Nashville, "Blame" is the Switzerland native's first release in the exploding world of country music. Reflective of his musical journey around the world, Bastian Baker was brought to life by producers and songwriters from different genres around the globe - United States, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada. Bastian holds a songwriting credit on all 14 tracks.
