Inside Out

Philip Bailey

High-gloss 1980s R&B where Nile Rodgers' razor-sharp guitar meets the most acrobatic falsetto in soul history. Pristine, rhythmic, and spiritually vibrant.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sharp, rhythmic guitar scratch of Nile Rodgers locking in with the gated snare on the opening track.
Bailey's transition from a gritty mid-range growl to a piercing, crystal-clear falsetto during the bridge of State of the Heart.
The lush, multi-tracked vocal harmonies that swell like a gospel choir over the electronic pulse of The Day Will Come.
