Bayli is on the Telly Bag: Pop n’ soul star BAYLI has released new single and video “Telly Bag,” an infectious little tune which works as “an ode to BAYLI’s love for Telfar, fashion, her queer identity, and bad bitches of all genders, sizes, and colors.”
“It’s always been important to me to shed light on communities that are often underrepresented so I really wanted to make sure the ‘TELLY BAG’ music video was a total celebration of our community and all things gay,” BAYLI said in a statement. “All of the models in the video are legendary queer artists and creators who we asked to come dressed as their most authentic selves while accessorizing with gender non-conforming pieces from Telfar fresh off the SS22 runway. From Brendan Jordan, who you might know as the iconic kid who vogued DOWN on a local new channel a few years back, to Kidd Kenn, one of the first publicly gay rappers signed to Def Jam Records, the video encapsulates what feels like to be a bad bitch in 2022”
That video sees her in a white room, as all manner of people walk by her. It’s a powerful visual.
“TELLY BAG’ is an homage to the powerful impact black, queer art and expression has had in 2022 so far, so Telfar being the centerpiece for this track was only fitting,” BAYLI continued. “The audience that ‘TELLY BAG’ was made for is a reflection of the brand’s motto ‘not for you — for everybody’”
BAYLI’s “Telly Bag” is out now.
