You can expect interesting, sassy, jazzy R&B and nu-soul pop from this likeable, Leeds-reared and former riot grrrl (frontwoman of the band Helen), whose comeback album The Heart Speaks In Whispers brings her to Akasaka Blitz in April. A versatile musician who has demonstrated a readiness to keep trying new things, Bailey Rae appears set to recreate the kind of buzz that saw her win Grammys back in 2008 and 2012.
