SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: DELANEY BAILEY – CONCAVE

Delaney Bailey

DELANEY BAILEY
CONCAVE
AWAL

These days the term singer songwriter has grown in its scope from just a solo artist with an acoustic instrument and introspective lyrics to a solo artist that basically has a mind of their own and goes anywhere where their fancy, inspiration, and inventiveness take them.

You can add to the latter Delaney Bailey, who after millions of streams has readied her debut album Concave, an album where she seems to care very little about neat musical labels and genres, covering a vast ground between dream pop and everything else, keeping that introspective music and lyrics concept fully intact.

And she may be doing it all instinctively, but she seems to have a deep musical background that she has transformed into music of her own with such ease. The previous three EPs that went so well both with critics and the streaming audience certainly did help, but Concave, although formally a debut, presents an artist with a fully developed vision that knows exactly how to give it a shape and form that will reach the audiences.
