Baker Boy is back, and this time, he’s flipping the script. The Yolŋu hip-hop powerhouse has returned with his latest single, “PEACEKEEPER,” and it’s a statement.
This isn’t just another feel-good banger—it’s the start of a bold new chapter, one that embraces a rawer, more hard-hitting sound.
Visually, “PEACEKEEPER” is a feast for the senses, blending high fashion with high-energy choreography and razor-sharp cinematography.
Filmed at the grand Werribee Mansion, the video marks a stylistic evolution for Baker Boy, pushing him into darker, more cinematic territory.
Co-directed by longtime creative collaborator Aurie Indianna and Melbourne filmmaker Jordan Ruyi Blanch (Ayesha Madon, Memphis LK), the visuals reflect this transformation, balancing power and elegance while keeping dance at the heart of the performance. Choreographed by Hëna Memishi, the movement serves as both a nod to his roots and a step into a more commanding, larger-than-life presence.
“This video is all about the new era and look of Baker Boy. I wanted to make a video that felt like it evolved with my music,” Baker Boy said.
“There has been a real change in my direction, stepping into some grittier moments sonically so I wanted the visuals to show that too. It’s hitting on the things Baker Boy is known for through dance but pushing the boundaries of how that looks and really taking ownership of the spaces I step into.”
Produced by Rob Amoruso, Pip Norman, and New-Haven (Imagine Dragons, Allday), “PEACEKEEPER” sees Baker Boy weaving between English, Yolŋu Matha, and even Spanish, flexing his ability to seamlessly blend cultures through sound. The track carries the high-energy pulse fans expect, but this time, the lyrics cut deeper, reflecting his journey of self-ownership and artistic independence.
“The positive reputation is still there, but I guess I’m getting into the more real side of things; some darker, grittier feelings—I’m letting that come out in my music more,” he adds. “Over the last couple of years, I’ve stepped out of what people want my music to be, and I’m just writing what I want to write. ‘PEACEKEEPER’ is me standing up and taking ownership but keeping that party vibe.”
With its infectious hooks, fearless lyricism, and boundary-pushing visuals, “PEACEKEEPER” signals a bold new chapter for one of Australia’s most dynamic artists. Fans can catch the first play of the single on triple j Drive this week, where Baker Boy will join Tyrone and Abby for a chat about his next steps.
