Review
I just fell in love with Delaney Bailey's album "(i would have followed you)". This 2022 release is a beautiful introspective work that lets us take a peek into Bailey's soul. The seven tracks, like "j's lullaby (darlin' i'd wait for you)" and "Love Letter From the Sea to the Shore", are woven together by themes of love, longing, and self-discovery - it's like Bailey is sharing her heart with us!
Bailey's voice is like velvet - it's so smooth and hauntingly beautiful that it draws you in and makes you feel like you're right there with her. The lyrics are super intimate and sincere, and the way she combines them with the music is just magic. And what I love is that the production is super subtle, so Bailey's voice and lyrics take center stage. It's not bombastic or over-the-top; it's just raw emotion.
The coolest thing is that the album is pretty short, so it's like a little emotional punch to the gut (in the best way!). It's definitely a powerful and moving album that showcases Bailey's talent for creating music that really connects with you. I'm obsessed! - Ava
