BAYNK reveals third new release with Cub Sport collaboration ‘Mine’

Listen HERE

New Zealand-born, London-based artist BAYNK has released Mine feat. Cub Sport as a follow up to the sensual dance/R&B tune Esther and its glimmering partner Touch Me (Hold My Hand). The track features Tim from Cub Sport’s light-as-air vocals over a pulsing beat, transporting the listener to a meditative, otherworldly state.

Tim shares, “the lyrics for Mine were inspired by the very start of Sam and I getting together. Neither of us had really come to terms with our sexuality, so there was a lot of secrecy around it. With the joy and excitement of that came a heaviness of hiding a big part of who we were, and a lot of shame and fear about being queer and what would happen if our families found out. So overall it’s about the excitement of love accompanied by a fear of huge change.”

Debut single Esther has lit a fire around the return of BAYNK. Featuring the velvet vocals of Tinashe interplaying with his own to create a heavenly balance, Esther has taken off and shows no signs of slowing down with more than two million streams accumulated in just over a month. Since release, the track has given BAYNK his first ever plays on BBC Radio 1 from Rickie, Melvin & Charlie, Apple Music 1 with Rebecca Judd, and most recently for BBC Music Introducing (London) with Jess Iszatt. Elton John featured Esther on his Apple Music show ‘Rocket Hour’.

A stunning visual for Esther, with the Spencer Graves-directed music video showcasing iconic performances from both BAYNK and Tinashe, twists and turns the viewer through a surreal dreamscape.

BAYNK’s upcoming 23-date headline tour of the United States and Canada has been announced for next year. After his largely sold-out run in 2020, and forthcoming sold-out debut performance at XOYO in London this November, his Adolescence tour sees his triumphant return to the road in early 2022.
