http://smarturl.it/StunMeVideo
Soul/Rock powerhouse, Liam Bailey announces the release of his debut solo album, Definitely NOW, on July 10th via Flying Buddha /Columbia Records. You can pre-order the album right now http://smarturl.it/definitelynow. Liam is also set to support friend and fellow musician Paloma Faith on her upcoming tour including dates in June & July across Gloucestershire, Kent, Yorkshire, Nottingham, Cheshire, Suffolk, Kew and Stafford.
Sometimes aggy, jabby, post-punk and tense (‘On My Mind’), other times deliciously melodic and warm (‘Stun Me’), the album is a brilliantly volatile ride through everything Liam has been through, and at times, still struggles with; Depression, loss of love and lack of self control. But there is optimism in his writing too, the darkness is laced with hope.
The album features lead single, ‘Villain’ featuring A$AP Ferg. The record received a huge level of radio support from the likes of Zane Lowe, Fearne Cotton, Mistajam and Lauren Laverne. You can watch the video here - https://youtu.be/-EUYA1pVgIc Previous single ‘On My Mind’ lifted from the album was featured as BBC Radio 1’s ‘Hottest Record In The World’.
As well as being released by Flying Buddha and Columbia Records, the album is also executively produced by Flying Buddha CEO Salaam Remi, who has worked with the likes of Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse, Lauryn Hill, Miguel, Ne-Yo, with the pair striking up a kinship whilst first working together back 2011.
Like Oasis - Liam Bailey’s gritty, working class childhood heroes - the singer/songwriter’s story starts on a bleak council estate in Nottingham. Initially in a hip-hop collective and then as lead singer in a band, he played the Nottingham circuit, but it wasn’t until he moved south, into a London bedsit flat in Stoke Newington, and began exploring a more acoustic sound through solo open-mic gigs that he truly found his sound.
It was soul legend Amy Winehouse who first took notice of Bailey’s talent, releasing his first two solo EP’s on her label, Lioness Records, back in 2010 before Bailey rocketed into the wider consciousness and became a household name after co-writing and providing vocals for Chase & Status’s 2011 hit-record ‘Blind Faith.’
Having toured the world with Chase & Status for two years, Bailey is ready to bare his soul on his own album, Definitely NOW.
