Soulful Teen Sensation Bailey James Releases Emotional Tribute Song on Brother’s Birthday
SOULFUL TEEN SENSATION BAILEY JAMES RELEASES EMOTIONAL TRIBUTE SONG ON BROTHER’S BIRTHDAY
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – On what would have been his 21st birthday, Bailey James is dedicating her latest release, a fan favorite called The One, to older brother Zane Clemens Koehler. Since losing him in 2017, Bailey and her family have openly shared their story in an effort to raise awareness of teen suicide. With the release of the song, written by Bailey with Steve O’Brien, she brings the unimaginable to light and finds comfort in angels.
The One is available on Apple Music, Spotify and all digital retailers today, (Wednesday, July 17).
“Sometimes a song just happens like it was always there to begin with and you haven’t heard/sang it forever. The One is that song,” says Bailey. “It was written in 30 minutes. When you have that much raw pain that you have been holding inside and you finally open up, it is heartfelt, simple and straight to the point. Everyone at some time has lost or will lose someone that will forever change them. That was my brother, Zane, and this song will forever be his.”
Today, teenagers and younger kids are no stranger to suicide. Recognizing this, Bailey is a role model to these kids. With daily messages from fans on her social media accounts, she courageously uses her voice to speak of her own experiences. Even before her loss, The Jason Foundation (national organization that is dedicated to the prevention of youth suicide) admired Bailey’s ability to eloquently address the subject rather than treating it as taboo and made her their first National Youth Advocate to help raise awareness.
