BAILIE - NOT YOUR TYPE
Bailie is a hidden gem in a bedroom in Chicago. She's an electronic singer-songwriter and producer, creating dreamy (and sometimes experimental) bedroom pop songs that you can relate to.
She independently released her full-length, debut album, Beginnings, in November of last year, and continues to drop new singles - so follow her so you don't miss any of the new fire!
"Not Your Type" is one of Bailie's most recent tracks, currently released on Soundcloud, but I'm hoping for a wider release on other platforms. The song begins with an atmospheric synth and Bailie's vocals, which remind me slightly of Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast, though Bailie's lyrical content isn't quite as dark. The track eventually adds layers of glittering arpeggiated synth, drums, and additional electronic sounds. Even though the composition is built with electronic elements, the fabricated ambiance manages to have an acoustic feel about it. "Not Your Type" is a breakup song meant for passing ships in the night - sometimes people just don't line up - the track is sad, but hopeful.
