Delaney Bailey doesn’t just question what it means to grow up, she turns that uncertainty into something luminous. With Concave arriving January 2026, the Chicago songwriter signals a bold new chapter through the album’s lead single, Far Away. This single is a meditation on aging, identity, and the dissolution of false certainty. Propulsive drums and soft guitar lines carry Bailey’s voice forward as she reframes uncertainty not as loss, but as possibility. Bailey shares:
‘Far Away’ is about getting older and realizing that I know much less than I thought I did. When I was younger, I thought that the experiences I had and the things I went through taught me enough about the world. I had learned enough about myself, I had learned enough about the way I interact with the world and my opinions on certain things. As I grow older, I’ve become much less convinced that I know anything at all.
She adds:
Although this can be scary, I tend to view my lack of knowing in a positive light. It’s nice to remind myself that there is so much left to experience. Meeting myself over and over again has become less painful as life goes on. I can’t tell if that’s because I like myself more the more I learn, or if it’s because I’ve gotten better at handling change. Probably both. That’s the good thing about your 20s, I think; change is the only consistent thing, so you learn to get used to it.
“Far Away” captures that tension, the distance between who you were and who you are becoming, yet it refuses despair. The track previews the emotional and sonic scope of "Concave," an album steeped in introspective storytelling, dreamlike production, and the quiet bravery of embracing change. As Bailey prepares to embark on her first headlining Midwest tour this November, she isn’t arriving with all the answers — she’s inviting listeners to walk alongside her in the wonder of not knowing.
