Rising Country Pop Singer Polly Baker Gushes with Promise of Adventure in Romantic “Wild” Video

PollyB_065_Final.jpg

Rising country pop singer Polly Baker promises a captivating love filled adventure in her stunning sun-splashed video for "Wild". Baker has performed throughout the United States, generating a social media buzz that has garnered her radio airplay, interviews, and showcases. She has been the opening act for Chanel West Coast, W!ldcard, The Afters, and Melissa Manchester. More information on Baker is available on her official website.



The video for “Wild” is a fun and flirty ode to the thrills of young love. Baker’s adopted city of Los Angeles is front and center, as Baker and her beloved stroll the city’s shores and streets. The visuals are warm, vivid, and inviting. According to Baker, the aesthetically pleasing quality of “Wild” is purposely artistic in nature:

“I loved the idea of writing a song that allowed the listener to paint the story within their imagination. From driving along Laurel Canyon with my co-writer and penning the purple skies we saw that sunset as the first lyric of the hook to the red dress I had worn on a rainy day outing to Manhattan Beach...the melody and lyrics are a visual memory for me and I wanted to make sure that the music video captured those moments."

Born and raised in Northern Virginia, Baker grew up in a musical family that instilled within her a love for music. Baker was merely four years old when she first sang at church alongside her parents and two older brothers. She gravitated towards singing and playing piano, beginning piano lessons at age five and penning her first song, “Dreams,” at the age of ten.

Baker performed in yearly festivals and competitions for sixteen years. She also served as the lead keyboardist and background singer for the worship team at a local church. In just a few years, Baker went from singing and playing piano in her basement to performing in front of more than 10,000 church-goers every Sunday. After winning a worldwide songwriting competition at the age of nineteen, Baker began opening shows for national acts.

Baker recently graduated from Berklee College of Music. She released her self-titled debut EP, produced by Grammy-winner Dave Darling, on June 3, 2016.

Two distraught dancers fly and fight their way through the angst of drug addiction in “She Cries,” the poignant new video from charismatic singer/songwriter SEE. Credited byPaste Magazine with “blending sultry pop vibes and amazing harmonies,” the Long Island, NY multi-instrumentalist has received more than 1,000,000 YouTube views of her steamy “Potions” video in just two months. Her growing portfolio of raves and reviews includes features in Mind Equals Blown, New Music Weekly, and Sound Fiction. More information on SEE is available on her official website.


SEE recently released her debut EP, Ties, on Blue Élan Records. Co-produced by Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, Pete Yorn) and Walt Dicristina, Ties masterfully combines elements of pop, alternative rock, and singer-songwriter stylings.

According to SEE, the video for “She Cries” captures the heartbreaking impact of addiction on both the addicted and their loved ones:

“I wrote “She Cries” while watching someone I am close with try to break away from the cycle of addiction. Addiction can take many layers and forms, but we chose to represent it visually through substance abuse. We were lucky to recruit two incredible dancers and a wonderful choreographer, so it created an environment in which we blended all these different elements of art into one project.”
At the age of eighteen, SEE began to sing and perform as a solo artist. She soon decided to forgo college in order to pursue a full-time music career. Her gamble paid off, as one year later she signed with Blue Élan Records in June 2015.

McWilliams is the rare young artist who knows precisely what she wants her music to be: “I like for each song to be a real emotion I’m feeling. Music is a piece of who I am.” And who McWilliams is can be summarized in “Smell the Roses.” The song, co-written with producer Emile Ghantous, Keith Hetrick, Paulina Cerrilla, and Kirsten Collins, sings the merits of being young and free of worry: "I really enjoyed collaborating with everyone to create the fun, carefree vibe of this song."

Directed by LA based Nayip Ramos and filmed in McWilliams’ hometown, the video for “Smell the Roses” is an ode to Austin and self-expression: “One of my favorite things about this video was shooting it in my hometown. It was so fun because I could express myself in an environment that I love. I had such an amazing time working with Nayip on this video. He has incredible talent and vision."

McWilliams can recall the moment that music called to her. Her family took a trip to Las Vegas and saw Céline Dion’s residency, leaving a lasting impact on five-year-old McWilliams. “That really made an impression on me,” McWilliams notes. “I knew I wanted to pursue music. It’s one of my most vivid early memories.”
