Love Will Find a Way

Love Will Find a Way marks Philip Bailey's 12th solo effort and his first in 17 years, representing a significant stylistic shift from R&B/Pop toward Contemporary and Spiritual Jazz. Released on Verve Records in 2019, the album serves as a bridge between the founding members of the jazz-fusion movement (Chick Corea, Steve Gadd) and the modern vanguard (Robert Glasper, Kamasi Washington, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah). The project was recorded with a focus on live interaction and analog warmth, mixed by Russell Elevado to capture a gritty yet polished sonic profile. Lyrically and musically, it pays homage to Bailey's roots in the L.A. jazz scene that predated Earth, Wind & Fire, while tackling themes of social unity and spiritual resilience. The album was a commercial and critical success in the jazz world, topping the Billboard Jazz charts and reaffirming Bailey's status as a versatile vocal technician capable of navigating complex modal structures.
