Hailing from the Northern Territory, singer/songwriter Caiti Baker has recently released her second album, Mary of the North.
Mary of the North was written as a tribute to her home state, the Northern Territory.
Originally starting off as a concept album, it has grown to become a lens that invites listeners to view the world through Mary’s eyes.
When asked about the album, Miss Baker says that Mary of the North is “the essence of the Northern Territory to me.”
“I wrote about what came naturally to me at the time, which was during some extremely sobering and emotional moments in Australia’s Environmental History.”
She was inspired by the many residents that make up the Northern Territory Community, where she wanted “listeners to hear the textures, colours and tones that make this place the incredibly unique and interesting home that it is to many.”
With Mary of the North being the second album released by Miss Baker, the album features songs such as Carry you, which lets Miss Bakers unique vocals take centre stage to highlight her heartfelt promise to those she loves.
The album features many songs that allow listeners to explore the full experience, which refuses to be defined by a genre.
Mary of the North features more creative exploration with producer (and long-term collaborator), James Mangohig, along with artwork being designed and printed by artist Frank Gohier.
Fiercely proud of her home, her accomplishments and where she comes from, Miss Baker continues to look to the future and where she is yet to go.
Mary of the North is out now via Settle down records.
