Bailey James’ hidden power lies in the quiet moments found in her latest release “Don’t Need Ya.” Written with a fresh start in mind and accompanied by seamless acoustic guitar, the song can be received as an indie country tune as easily as an alt-pop track. James’ crystal-clear vocals are effortless, sexy, and raw while retaining a unique tone. In addition, the chorus where Bailey sends a message about empowerment (“Cuz, I put a record on/Dropped the needle/On a goodbye song/I don’t need ya”) is perfectly matched with a more upbeat melody, which helps convey the idea of not depending on someone else and being happy.

Indie-Pop Songwriter, Toho, Releases “OFF”
Archers Of Loaf share new single “Screaming Undercover” | New album “Reason In Decline” out 21st October via Merge Records
“‘Screaming Undercover’ is definitely the heart of the new record,” says Eric Bachmann. “It came out quickly and it was the first lyric I actually finished for this collection of songs. I felt good after it had been written because I finally knew the point of view from which I could write more Archers songs. It had an urgent frustration in it that expressed what we were all feeling towards what the pandemic had taken from us, as well as the anger I felt personally towards the Trump administration and its dysfunctional embrace of anti-intellectualism, which unfortunately still seems to be infecting the culture and political climate.”
