St. Ives-based singer songwriter Bailey Tomkinson has graced our pages a couple times over the past twelve months, always bringing with her a fresh take on country-infused pop. Her latest is no exception. It’s called Astronaut.

Astronaut is a beautifully rendered ballad, rich with storytelling detail and emotive pop rock. A cinematic chorus elevates everything and it’s there that Bailey’s vocals really shine – utterly stunning.

It’s been quite a year for Bailey with an EP release, festival appearances and her first US show in New York planned for this month. If you happen to be that side of the pond, then you can catch her at the Rockwood Music Hall on 27 December. Given Bailey’s quality, it could well be an “I was there” moment.

You can give Astronaut a listen below.
