Up and coming Waterford artist, Carrie Baxter, releases heartfelt new track

Waterford born jazz and soul singer Carrie Baxter is one of the most exciting artists coming from the bubbling underground music scene.

He has just released her latest track, 'Loved you Before'.

Carrie Baxter’s sound blends neo-soul, R&B and jazz with personal confessional lyrics and heartfelt storytelling.

With 80 million Spotify streams, Carrie has been featured on RTÉ’s The Main Stage, BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and Jazz FM, and in media including Notion, COLORS, Wonderland, the Irish Independent and Record of the Day.

Her latest offering, ‘Loved You Before’, is described as "a tender love song about the feeling of rediscovering someone your heart already knows".

Through soft, intimate imagery and a dreamy sense of déjà vu, it captures the comfort, passion, and quiet magic of a love that feels destined. 

At its core, it is about cherishing the small things, time spent together, gentle touches, and the deep, unspoken connection between two souls.

Speaking on the track, Carrie said the inspiration for the song came from a session with her therapist.

“My therapist told me it was a red flag that I felt like I already knew him, so I wrote a song about how that felt.” 

“I’m a hopeless romantic at heart, especially when it comes to connections that feel instant or familiar. So I guess this is a love song, those early, honeymoon-phase kind of feelings. 

"Although with hindsight and years of therapy, I’ve had to learn to slow down when I meet someone new, take the rose-tinted glasses off and be mindful of the filters that show up in the connection.”
