Bailey Tomkinson – Bright Red 
Release Date: Out Now
For anyone living outside of
Cornwall, the fact that the G7 summit is happening here in June 2021 is
probably not that big a deal. However, for residents of one of the poorest
regions in the old EU which is fast becoming a holiday mistress for the rich
and famous, the overriding feeling is that the county is being used, abused and
plundered in a way we haven’t seen since the peak of the mining boom.
Fortunately, rising star (and former employee of the Carbis Bay Hotel where the
world’s largest economies will meet to stroke their collective egos) Bailey
Tomkinson has leant her voice to the groundswell of protests with new single ‘Bright
Red’. The single opens with a brooding, soulful vibe which has Joss Stone tones
with the soft guitar and shuffling beat, but Tomkinson’s voice is in a league
of its own as it mixes with soul with alt-pop superbly. There is anger in the
lyrics, but they are delivered so stealthily that you wouldn’t bet against Tomkinson
getting a get to perform for our great leaders because nobody listened to the words
properly. An anthem for a county’s people who have had enough of being squeezed
out by second homes, no jobs and poor infrastructure.
