Liam Bailey Debut Album, Definitely NOW, Drops Soon

Liam Bailey, UK soul and rock singer, has finally released his debut album after a year of teasing us with a couple of songs (including the amazing Please Love Me on his Vevo channel).

The album, Definitely NOW, will be available on 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.

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.

Definitely NOW was recorded in New York, Miami and London. It was co-written and produced by Bailey, and Executive Produced by Flying Buddha label head and Executive VP of A&R Salaam Remi.

You can listen to the first track below, and the rest are available for preview at the iTunes store.
