Music News - Rising RnB star Bailey Wiley shares ‘Zaddy’, announces EP
12 April 2019 - 0 Comments
Golden-voiced Bailey Wiley follows the success of last year’s stunning Sugar ft Melodownz with Zaddy, the flirtatious second offering from her forthcoming self-titled EP, out on 17 May with A Label Called Success.
The success of Sugar ushered in a new era for Bailey Wiley, receiving airplay across both commercial and alternative radio.
Zaddy is another reflection of Bailey’s experiences in love and life, accompanied a striking video that combines illustration and animation. The track details the battle of the sexes at the start of a relationship, playing on the things that are usually left unsaid.
"Zaddy is an expression of the battle; a tug of war, a power struggle” Bailey says. “It’s about finding a balance, then flipping it on its head. Why? Because you can. Because you want to.”
“The lyrics in this song are so forth-coming, but the video delivers a notion of discovery and reflection. When you put the track and the video together, that’s when the magic happens.”
“The intro is an intriguing open door as the beat is revealed, while the rhythm encourages you to sink into the pocket of the song and take a back seat.”
Harbouring the elements that speak true to Bailey Wiley’s song writing, the track’s rhythmic delivery accompanied by a unique harmony and backing vocals is a levelled up version of the artist her fans know and love. Bailey’s play on words makes Zaddy addictive to listen to.
“I’ve been lucky enough to record the EP at Red Bull Music Studios Auckland, and to work with some musical heroes of mine - Josh Fountain, Tom Scott, High Hoops, Smokey and Eno just to name a few. To get here, I needed to expand my horizons, step out of my comfort zone and share my creative with some fresh ears.”
Zaddy is out today via all streaming platforms. Bailey Wiley will be released by A Label Called Success on 21 May. Listen now.
