Baauer’s First New Music Since 2020 Is a Summery House Anthem: Listen
Baauer is back—and you probably haven’t heard him quite like this before. Despite his inescapable connection to the outrageous “Harlem Shake,” Baauer has time and again proven himself an aesthete of electronic music. And his newest track, “Let Me Love U,” is a testament to his appreciation for the genre’s holistic nature. The single is a departure from the wacky and wonderful world of 2020’s PLANET’S MAD, Baauer’s alien-themed sophomore LP, which garnered his first-ever Grammy nomination. Eschewing the album’s quirky synths and glitched-out bass, “Let Me Love U” functions as Baauer’s first foray into house music. The sun-kissed track, which Baauer said is a byproduct of his desire to produce “undeniabl...
