Kayla Bailey Releases Full-Length Album 'Wasteland'
Christian artist Kayla Bailey officially announces the release of her long-awaited full-length album "Wasteland." With 12 profound tracks, the album is now available for purchase and streaming at all major music outlets worldwide.
"Wasteland" showcases Bailey's dynamic range as an artist, capturing the ebb and flow of life’s journey through a collection of deeply personal songs. She takes listeners on a transformational journey through valleys and wilderness seasons, which ultimately lead to a closeness to God.
The album's tracks range from the up-tempo, anthemic song "Never Lost" to the heart-rending "Wilderness" that perfectly encapsulates Bailey's personal struggles. It features collaborations with spoken word artist and rapper, Just Steve in "No Man's Land," and co-written songs with acclaimed songwriters Charles Harke and Austin Davis in "Closer," and Andrew Holt & Austin Davis in "New Creation."
"'Wasteland' is much more than an album to me, it is a testament to God's faithfulness in the wilderness of life. The project mirrors my own journey through hardship, fear, and hope, which I believe many people can relate to especially after the challenging times we've recently faced," says Kayla Bailey. "The album's message is simple yet profound: no matter what you're going through, God is there guiding you, drawing you closer to Him, and transforming you into a new creation."
All songs on the album are produced by Cory Nelson, except for "Closer" and "New Creation" which were produced by David O. Ramirez at the renowned Gnome Studios in Nashville, TN. The album was recorded at Haxton Road Studios, in Bentonville, AR, and Gnome Studios in Nashville, TN.
As a testament to Bailey's songwriting prowess and her ability to connect with listeners, "Closer," the first single off the album, debuted at #1 on the CRC Weekly and Monthly charts.
