Flying Buddha announces the release of Definitely NOW - the debut album from UK soul/rock singer Liam Bailey. The album will be available today, August 19th 2014 and supported by a U.S. tour, which kicks off on August 10th at New York's Central Park SummerStage.
Liam Bailey's sonic stew contains a rich broth of ingredients. He sings with a raw expressiveness that has been compared to Bob Marley and Sam Cooke, yet his songwriting style is liable to reference post Punk bands like The Smiths and Oasis. Everything is woven together by a lean guitar-driven instrumental sound, perfectly framing Liam's lyrical and vocal passions. For an early taste of the album, Bailey leaked the lead teaser track "On My Mind" and to fans via socials. Listen to "On My Mind" streaming HERE and we encourage you to post and share.
The Nottingham, England native got his initial introduction to the music business via his friend, producer Salaam Remi. Remi introduced Bailey to the late Amy Winehouse, who was so impressed with his music that she signed Bailey to her Lioness Records imprint and recorded 2 EP's with him - So Down Cold and 2AM Rough Tracks. Bailey has collaborated with a wide variety of artists including Rita Ora, Tom Odell and Shy FX. He co-wrote the Chase & Status hit "Blind Faith" which debuted in the top 5 of the UK Singles Chart.Videos
