COME THRU VOCALS — Daily Vocal Discoveries from INYIM Media
Come Thru Vocals is a long-running It’s Not You It’s Me Media series spotlighting standout vocal performances, emerging artists and new songs worth adding to your rotation. Curated by the INYIM music desk, many selections later appear in the Musique Dig’s Weekly Playlist and enter rotation on INYIM Radio.
Today’s Come Thru Vocals time-travels from Pearl Bailey’s “Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home?” to PLUTO’s “Tippy Toes.” One brings vintage vocal personality and classic phrasing; the other lands squarely in 2026 with a sleek rap-pop pulse. Same playlist, wildly different decades — exactly how we like it.
Pearl Bailey
Tune: Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home?
Pearl Bailey makes “Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home?” feel like conversation set to music, leaning on character, timing and unmistakable phrasing instead of vocal acrobatics. It is the kind of performance that proves personality can carry a song across generations. No expiration date here.
PLUTO
Tune: Tippy Toes
PLUTO brings us crashing back into the present with “Tippy Toes,” a 2026 Motown release built around sharp delivery and a polished rap-pop frame. Where Bailey lets phrasing wander and breathe, PLUTO keeps everything clipped, modern and forward-moving. Saturday officially has range.
