Bayley Pearl
Musician
Seduction in chaos, chasing temporary highs and aching for more than survival. Bayley Pearl tells of becoming - messy, complex and honest.
Bayley Pearl is an unapologetic force drawing from alt-pop / blues and roots influence—writing songs that cut with grit, honesty, and emotional bite. Her lyrics dive into power struggles, bad decisions, and the beauty in being a little messed up. With a sound that’s both moody and magnetic, Bayley builds worlds that feel cinematic and raw.
She doesn’t ask for permission. She writes the uncomfortable and lights a match under what’s been left to smoulder.
Bayley’s debut full length album ‘Playing God’ is coming……. Here is what Bayley has to say about this album….
Dedicated to everyone who wonders if I’m writing about them, I am.
The songs through this album debate and contradict the feelings of nature vs nurture in a less ‘dramatic’ sense than usually talked about. Are villains born or made? The last track is my personal feelings that everybody is a villain in someone’s story, but most of the time I am the villain in my own. I talk a lot about ‘heaven and hell’ ‘god and devil’ but I am simply using these terms to challenge good and bad. I believe nothing is ever truly bad or truly good, we all have bits of both, we are all saints and sinners and through my life experience, my values and topics that make my blood boil, I challenge you to listen to this album and see both sides (however hard I have pushed mine).
These are not your ordinary love songs nor are they your typical breakup songs they are feelings, thoughts and situations that make me feel so deeply that all I can do is scream (and then write about it).

Not your ordinary love songs!
“I won’t text you when I’m sober cause I’m over being under you
but there’s a drink in my hand
I was meant to be your drug
but that high wasn’t enough for you”
