Up-and-coming Western Australian indie-pop artist Bailey Perrie is back with a brand new sound on her latest single, “For The Plot.” This cool, brooding number is a world away from the country-tinged sweetness of her last single “The Lotto,” but I think it really suits her. Bailey’s voice sounds so haunting against the layered synths, which give enough space for her lyrics to shine.
“This song is about those impulsive, heart-first decisions we make—not because they’re safe, but because they’re real,” Bailey explained. “It’s about trusting the journey, even if it’s a little reckless.”
“For The Plot” gives us an exciting taste of Bailey’s third album, which will see this musical chameleon delivering honest lyrics as she experiments with pop, country, and rock sounds.
Bailey’s not a household name, yet, but she’s already generating some serious buzz. The Australian Songwriting Association named her Youth Songwriter of the Year 2024 and the International Singer Songwriter Association (ISSA) gave her its International Rising Star Award. She’s also been nominated in several categories in this year’s 2025 ISSA Awards and Nashville’s Josie Music Awards. In addition to the accolades, Bailey’s scored radio play around the world and racked up 3.4 million Spotify streams and 1.8 million YouTube views. She’s also shot music videos in Los Angeles and performed in leading venues across Nashville and Atlanta. But right now, Bailey’s entertaining crowds closer to home with shows across Western Australia. Here are all the places you can catch this star on the rise.
