Put Your Records On

At 26, Leeds-born Bailey Rae is already being groomed for success in America. Even her name has an American sound to it. Taking her cue from Natasha Bedingfield, Joss Stone and Nelly Furtardo, ‘Put Your Records On’ is urban soul, ripe for chick flicks and a safe bet to dominate airwaves over the coming months. As to its quality, a different, arguably better, producer would have preserved Bailey Rae’s raw undertones rather then pop produce with a glisten and a twinkle to seal every gap.
