If you’ve heard Chase & Status’ latest offering, Blind Faith, you will already, perhaps unwittingly, have heard Liam Bailey who provides the vocals. Now, he looks set to make it on his own with his gorgeous soulful music. His voice is rich and velvety, and current single You’d Better Leave Me Darling sounds like contemporary Motown. It’s a refreshing, retro twist on the R’n'B flooding the market at the moment, as he creates an uptempo, emotional song speaking of a man’s uncertainty, and this vulnerability is endearing. If further proof of his credentials as an artist were needed, below is his acoustic cover version of Etta James’ I’d Rather Go Blind. Stripped bare his voice is even more stunning, the deep, smooth tones filling every song he sings with a passion that infiltrates the listener. Each lyric, whether it be self-penned or otherwise, is fantastically sincere. No matter what style of music you are into, you cannot deny Bailey’s talent and the charming nature of his music. So, for those who want to hear more from the man responsible for the vocals that help make Chase & Status’ latest offering so spectacular, below is the video for current single You’d Better Leave Me & as mentioned his gorgeous cover of I’d Rather Go Blind, I challenge you not to melt!
