New Jersey singer-songwriter Bailey Grey releases “USE ME,” a whimsical jazz-pop single exploring posthumous body donation, ahead of her anticipated debut album “Love it All” arriving May 2025.
Released on October 15, 2024, “USE ME” showcases Bailey Grey’s unique blend of humor and introspection. The track, inspired by Alex King’s poem “Salvation in Donation,” features Grey’s theatrical flair and jazz-pop sensibility, reminiscent of artists like Sara Bareilles and Regina Spektor. Produced by Sam Cook-Stuntz at Homespun Audio in Seattle, the song combines playful lyrics with a catchy melody, inviting listeners to consider the afterlife with a smile.
Grey’s background in musical theatre, including her time as a Broadway child actor and her master’s degree from London’s Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, informs her dynamic vocal performance. “USE ME” gained traction on TikTok, with Grey creating a dance that resonated with fans, leading to widespread sharing and engagement.
The single is a precursor to Grey’s forthcoming 14-track album, “Love it All,” set for release in May 2025. The album promises a journey through love, grief, and self-discovery, blending genres and showcasing Grey’s storytelling prowess. Tracks like “Out from Under” and “Battle Cry” delve into the struggles of artistic life and personal growth, while songs like “Sun Roof” and “Get Lost” explore relationships and longing.
Grey’s commitment to authenticity and connection shines through in her music, making “USE ME” not just a song, but an invitation to embrace life’s complexities with humor and heart.
