Bari Leigh

“I Followed My Heart / And Look Where It Got Me…” Bari Leigh Couldn’t Have Written A More Appropriate Beginning. Self Taught As A Singer Guitarist And Pianist She Began Writing Songs At The Age Of Seven—and Followed Her Heart Straight To This National Debut. With Her Unique Voice And A Five-Song Collection Showing A Maturity Well Beyond Her Years Bari Effortlessly Infuses Pop With Country Rock Funk Blues Soul And Emo To Create A Journey Across Musical Genres. Our Travels Begin With The Award-Winning “The Sand Will Catch Our Fall ” An Instant Classic Spinning A Tale Of Summer Love That Could Be Sung By Taylor Swift Or Nelly Furtado “We’ll See Where This Goes / For Now It’s A Mystery / With Sand In Our Toes / We’ll Make Our Own History” . With The Help Of A Little Banjo And Pedal Steel Guitar You’ll Feel Sand In Your Boots As You Spin On This Downtown Nashville Beach At Sunset. In Bold Contrast The Driving Paramore-Style Rocker “Should’ve Stayed Gone” Channels Kelly Clarkson To Tell A Coming-Of-Age Story About The Challenges Of Breaking Away And Starting A New Life “Why’d I Come Back To This Scene / When It Took All My Strength To Leave” . The Soul-Tinged “Strong Enough For Both Of Us” Pulls You Down Off Of Your Chairs And Gently Settles You Into The Memphis Blues. Complete With That Classic Sun Records Guitar Sound This Song Of Love And Encouragement Is Destined For A Soundtrack “You’ve Walked Alone Down Every Dead End Street / You Think It’s Destiny / But I’ll Show You” . “Dumb” Takes A Turn Into The Land Of Electro-Pop Adding Funky Grooves And Driving Rock To A Britney Spears-Style Programmed Drum Beat While Cleverly Playing On The Double-Meaning Of The Title “I Open My Mouth And Nothing Comes Out” . Avril Lavigne And Joan Jett Meet The Ronettes In The EP’s Closer “Tonight ” A Rocker That Brings Punk Back To The 1950s. Layered Vocals And Orchestra Mix With Crushing Guitars In A Phil Spector “Wall Of Sound ” Propelling This Simple Friday Night Romp Into A Modern Teen Tragedy Of Epic Proportions “All You Need’s A Heartbeat / I Don’t Need You To Be Smart / Stand There And Look Pretty Boy / You’re Working Way Too Hard” . Produced By Critically Acclaimed Recording Artist Willie Wisely Bari Leigh’s Debut EP Reveals At Once A Unique And Soulful Voice An Emerging Songwriting Talent And A Steadfast Ambition To Follow Her Heart. But Of Course She’s Managed To Say All Of That Through Her Music Already. read less
