In 2026, Tinlicker will embark on a tour across Europe and the United Kingdom. During the tour shows, the Dutch electronic act will perform as a trio for the first time: singer and producer Hero Baldwin officially joins Tinlicker as a member.

Following previous joint performances and collaborations, including the single I Started A Fire (April 2024), Baldwin now becomes part of the core lineup. The three artists already shared the stage last summer at the Melkweg and at Tinlicker In The Park at London’s Crystal Palace Bowl.

The addition of Hero Baldwin, with her clear vocals and unique songwriting style, complements Tinlicker’s blend of melodic electronic music, vocals, and live elements. The trio has been creating music together since 2020.

Baldwin on the collaboration:
"Jordi and Micha seem to pull something out of me that resonates with my emotional landscape every time we make a song. I think it’s so important to feel creatively and emotionally secure, and Jordi and Micha always afford me that privilege."

Alongside the tour, Tinlicker also announces new music. Their single I Want My Freedom was released on October 10 via Remember the Future/[PIAS], co-written by Baldwin. The track combines piano tones, rhythmic percussion, and a melodic synth line with Baldwin’s signature voice.

“These lyrics circled in my mind for a long time,” says Hero. “I started writing from that feeling of disconnection as a woman in my mid-twenties with a sharp awareness of the world moving backwards. But over time, the song grew into something bigger. I Want My Freedom isn’t just about me, it’s about all of us. The heartbreaking truth is that the abuse of freedoms reaches far beyond gender. I wanted to create a song of inclusion, with a nod to what I personally feel I’ve lost. Freedom is never handed to us; it’s something we fight for, and I no longer have that softness in me to apologise for that.”

The single serves as a precursor to Tinlicker’s fourth studio album, set to be released in early 2026.
