Elles Bailey has released a new track in the shape of Deeper, which represents the latest single to be taken from her second album, ‘Road I Call Home’. You can watch the video for the track below.

It was written with Dan Demay and Daryll Burgess, who co-wrote Same Flame with me on ‘Wildfire’. “I’ve written a lot with Dan and Daryl and I love that we write something completely different every time we get together. Deeper was always a favourite of mine right from the beginning when it was written in September 2017 and I knew it was gonna go on the record. “It lived as a piano voice note for eight months, however in the studio it came alive and just became something so much better than I imagined. I’m so happy we decided to put horns on it too – it just oozes with soul.” 2019 has been an exceptionally busy year for Elles Bailey and doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon, with the artist pencilled in for a host of live dates between now and December, including an appearance at Millport Country Music Festival, gigs in Europe and America and UK tour to close off the year. Tickets for all gigs are available here.

The most divisive country song of the year in Old Town Road by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus has made American history by lasting 17 weeks as US No. 1. The much talked about track has now overtaken both One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men and Despacito by Luis Forsi & Daddy Yankee ft Justin Bieber, both of which lasted 16 consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard 100. Old Town Road was infamously taken out of the Billboard Country charts upon its initial release – with many suggesting racism was the reason for the removal – before Cyrus lent his vocals to it for a remixed version to try and get it back into the country charts. While it didn’t go back into the country charts, the song has grown into something far bigger than can possibly have been imagined and live performances have now taken place on the main stage at both CMA Fest and Glastonbury.
