Music Crowns is proud to premiere “somewhere by a lake”, the latest release from fast-rising indie artist and songwriter Bobby Freemont. Marking the third single from his forthcoming debut album The Death of Bobby Freemont, this soul-stirring track is a powerful testament to emotional honesty and artistic patience—five years in the making and every moment worth the wait.
Originally written during a difficult chapter of Freemont’s life in 2018, “somewhere by a lake” was born out of a quiet desire to escape the noise of city life and find peace in solitude. “I kept having these thoughts about moving far away from it all,” he shares. “I’d talk about it with my girlfriend, even though we were both too tied to the city to actually leave.” That quiet yearning is captured beautifully in the song’s restrained, emotionally rich production—crafted alongside acclaimed songwriter Nick Ferraro, whose past credits include Kali Uchis, Macy Gray, and Earth, Wind & Fire.
Delicate guitar work and soft, soul-laced keys form the foundation of the track, while Freemont’s understated vocals carry a vulnerability that feels lived-in and raw. It’s not a song built for spectacle—it’s built for connection. Each line feels like a passing thought you’ve had yourself, the kind that bubbles up in the stillness of late night or early morning.
The track offers a first real look into the emotional core of Freemont’s debut album, set to release in late 2025. Known for his poetic songwriting and quietly magnetic style, Freemont is emerging as one of the most compelling new voices in indie music. His previous EP Doors to Kick amassed over 3 million streams, and he was recently named one of Atwood Magazine’s Artists to Watch in 2025—a title he’s quickly proving well-earned.
“somewhere by a lake” doesn’t just set the tone for what’s coming—it deepens the intrigue. It’s the kind of song that leaves you sitting in silence afterward, unsure whether to press repeat or just take a walk and think. And that’s exactly the space Bobby Freemont wants to create.
