Baylee Dowling is a Liverpool musician you may not have heard of yet, however it will be one you will hear of in the future. Northern Exposure say he is soon to be Liverpool's latest success! With the release of his debut single 'Not Turning Back', Baylee will both bring you to tears and leave your heart full. Taking inspiration from the likes of Paolo Nutini, 'Fleetwood Mac' and 'The 1975', he is reinventing classic acoustic ballads into something so delicate, as just a singer with a guitar, yet so powerful and emotional. Whilst only writing the track when he was just 16 years old, it is clear that with age this song has matured beautifully – arguably one that could soundtrack any coming-of-age love story. Whether it’s Connell and Marianne, Dexter and Emma or Elio and Oliver – the relatability and timelessness and vulnerability of Dowling’s debut will speak to many with volumes.
Speaking on the track, Dowling says "Not Turning Back was the first song I ever wrote on the guitar. It was written in about 20 minutes from what I can remember. I suppose this song is what its like to finally let go of someone you thought you would be with forever, how it takes a while before you can truly say you're 'not turning back' for them anymore. I can truly say this song is one of the greatest emotional ballads I may ever write. Its simplicity is nothing short of genius. Just me and my acoustic guitar in a studio behind a glass screen just letting it all out." Lyrically, the track speaks as a highly personal and intimate confession of love – it is direct and doesn’t hide behind anything. The song really is just as vulnerable as its meaning, with just Baylee and his guitar, there is nowhere to hide. Every feeling of fear and susceptibility that partners the braveness of allowing yourself to fall in love is captured perfectly in this song, from its lyricism, his angelic voice and the simplicity of the guitar that beautifully partners him.
Influenced by the likes of early Beck and Paolo Nutini, as well as contemporary icons such as 'The 1975' and Harry Styles, Baylee's sound ultimately became a fusion of classic and modern, reflecting the eclectic spirit of his hometown. With performances at iconic venues like the Kazimier Stockroom, Baylee's music resonates deeply with his audience, who eagerly sing along to anthems like 'Robyn' and 'Not Turning Back'. His lyrics, inspired by his own experiences, capture the essence of contemporary life and his fashion reflects his vibrant personality, with colourful attire that sets him apart, often complemented by his beloved Adidas Gazelles.
