Grammy-Nominated Songwriter Laurence Baer & High Kings’ Darren Holden Release Co-write "Baby's Baby Bump," September 11

Fans can pre-save for free now ahead of the second chapter of Baer's 21-song waterfall collection "Across Light"

ELLICOTT CITY, MD, UNITED STATES, September 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Grammy-nominated songwriter Laurence Baer today announces "Baby's Baby Bump," the second chapter of his 21-song independent waterfall collection, Across Light, releasing September 11, 2026 and available to pre-save now. Co-written with Darren Holden, singer of Ireland's Multi-Platinum folk group The High Kings, the song is proof that Holden's songwriting genius travels well beyond his own genre — here rendered as an upbeat, contemporary gospel arrangement that captures the overwhelming joy and inspiration a father feels watching his wife's pregnancy unfold, the giddy anticipation of a child not yet met, but already impossible to stop thinking about.



"Darren is an incredible songwriter and a pleasure to write with," said Baer. "I can't help smiling when I listen to Baby's Baby Bump. We are working together on releasing a separate project of co-writes later this year."



"Baby's Baby Bump" follows the August 21 release of Across Light's opening chapter, "This Holy Ground." Where that song looked outward toward themes of national healing and unity, "Baby's Baby Bump" turns inward, toward the swell of unguarded happiness described in lines like "the song that I'm humming, the spring in my step."
