Missouri alt-pop artist Bailey Bomar is stepping confidently into her own lane with ‘Not Me’, following her highly-praised debut ‘Ecstasy’.
Pairing gleaming synths with surging guitars and her emotionally charged vocal delivery, the track turns a deeply personal period of uncertainty into an expansive pop anthem. Written before she became a wife and mother, ‘Not Me’ looks back at a time when she was questioning whether the future expected of her was necessarily the future she wanted.
Raised in the small Missouri community of Crocker, she spent years keeping her songwriting largely to herself. That background now provides the emotional foundation for a song about refusing to let your surroundings determine the limits of your ambitions.
Created alongside UK producer and songwriter Mike Macdermid, a three-time Platinum songwriter with three Billboard No.1s to his name, ‘Not Me’ combines polished contemporary pop with flashes of new wave atmosphere.
It makes for another exciting addition to Bailey Bomar’s emerging catalogue, transforming the pressure to conform into a bold reminder that sometimes the most important direction you can take is your own.
