Indie Pop from Bobby Freemont

Since arriving on the scene with his debut single “Mama” back in 2019, Bobby Freemont has become a celebrated figure in the indie music scene. Crafting poetic, deeply felt songs that shine with honesty and restraint, his catalogue to date, including several singles, an EP and collaborations with a diverse cast of artists such as Terrell Morris, BOYFRN, Free n Losh, Roshin, Ruby Waters, DillanPonders and Chrome Daphne, reflects a consistent push toward personal truth over stylistic gimmickry.

Having clocked millions of streams and earned critical acclaim, most recently being named one of Atwood Magazine’s “Artists to Watch” in 2025, he’s gone from strength to strength with each move. Alongside his solo work, he’s also made his mark behind the scenes as a producer for Grammy-nominated and Juno-winning artists, further attesting the influence he’s having on modern songwriting.

His new single titled “somewhere by a lake” continues this creative adventure, opening a meditative window into the emotional sphere that defines his upcoming debut album, The Death of Bobby Freemont. Years in the making, the track first took shape back in 2018 during a difficult stretch of the artist’s life. “The song always felt special. I just didn’t feel ready to release it until now. Having the right team and support system around me made all the difference.” he shares.

What began as a whispered idea, an escape from the intensity and noise of urban life, flourished through multiple iterations before finally finding its full form. Penned in collaboration with acclaimed songwriter Nick Ferraro whose catalogue includes work with Kali Uchis, SiR and Macy Gray, the track channels a slow-burning ache into something soulful and spacious.

“somewhere by a lake” captures that strange in-between feeling; the yearning for peace, the pull of the unknown, the bittersweet knowledge that escape and resolution don’t always arrive at once. Bobby’s delivery is subdued but engaging, riding on warm production that gives the track an intimate aesthetic. Opened by the flutter of dreamy key tones, Bobby’s smooth voice glides in to spin elegant melodic leads above the soft pulse of bass as the snap of drums injects a laid back groove.

Flowing with charming songwriting, mellow vocal performance and catchy moments wrapped in a delicate arrangement of intricate guitar tones and slick percussion, it’s a superb jam that’s truly impossible not to love. With “somewhere by a lake” marking the third single from his debut LP and a steady string of releases planned leading up to its late 2025 arrival, we can’t wait to see what comes next from this talented artist with a truly compelling musical vision.
