London is the much-awaited debut full release single from young UK jazz singer-songwriter Poppy Baker. Released on Friday 20th February 2026 and available on all major streaming platforms, London’s evening haze sets the scene for a bittersweet story centred on the pursuit of something tantalisingly just out of reach.
First composed in 2020 and demoed on social media in 2024, London blends jazz, neo-soul, R&B, and indie influences into a distinctive, captivating sound. Fans of Eva Cassidy, Laufey and Stacey Ryan will love this full release version of London.
“Poppy Baker’s gorgeous new track London brings her love of contemporary styles and adds a jazz sensibility. Evocative and moody, London conjures up the seduction of a late night in the city and juxtaposes it with a touch of solitude and yearning… beautifully sung with just the tiniest bit of edge – I love it!” Sara Colman.
"Poppy Baker is one of the UK’s most talented young singer-songwriters and composers. Her unique jazz-infused songs straddle the soul, R&B and indie genres – with melodies that cut straight to the heart. Poppy’s impressively sensitive and soulful vocals reveal an emotional intelligence beyond her years. Insightful lyrics demonstrate an innate ability to address any topic with sensitivity, whilst Poppy’s profound affection for ballads enriches her contemporary musical creations.” GRB Music.
