New York alt-pop artist BAYLI has released No Re-Entry, the nine-track finale to her “Stories” trilogy, on 11 November 2025.
The project serves as what the artist describes as a “high-femme manifesto” dedicated to club culture’s transformative power.
“This project is for the femmes, freaks, heartbreakers, healers and every other character you meet in the club for anyone who’s ever cried in the club but kept dancing anyway.”
The EP follows 2021’s Stories from New York and 2022’s Stories 2, closing a three-part exploration of identity, nightlife and resilience.
But where earlier instalments traced her evolution through New York’s club scene, No Re-Entry delves deeper into the dancefloor as sanctuary. It is both celebration and eulogy for an era spanning the 2010s into the early 2020s.
Production credits include Jon Santana (Brooke Candy) and Malik Ninety Five (Doechii) and they help craft a sound that is unapologetically genre-fluid.
The EP channels club grit mixed with emotional clarity: rhythms flirt with baile funk heat, amapiano pulses bring slow-burn seduction and 80s New Wave attitude courses through tracks that balance hedonism with introspection, reflecting BAYLI’s 18 months of sobriety leading into the release.

“Passenger Princess” opens the EP with a confident flicker of freedom. The title nods to the passenger seat’s modern slang status, where letting someone else steer becomes a choice rather than a compromise.
Stay ahead of the curve: dive into the latest slang, meme culture and viral trends on Neon Music’s “Meme Watch.”
The sleek club beat underlines the thrill of being carried through the night and the relief of surrendering control, weaving into BAYLI’s broader exploration of nightlife, resilience and sanctuary.
Stand-out moments include “Gospel”, which features ballroom legend Kevin Aviance and effectively anoints the club as sacred ground.
On “all of that,” the line between the dance floor and a therapist’s couch blurs. With the provocative lyric, “get under my skin, get under my clothes, all of that,” BAYLI perfectly captures the track’s tension between raw intimacy and full release.
It also acknowledges the hangover while still chasing the high, proving that healing and hedonism often share the same beat.
“fem-onomics” takes a cheekier approach, reclaiming femininity as “one of the most powerful economies we’ve got”, while “Posh” brings London fashion icon Cortisa Star into the fold for pure escapism.
The EP has already earned co-signs from SOPHIE, Shygirl, Slayyyter and Mura Masa, and this cements BAYLI’s reputation as an artist who refuses to stay in one lane.
No Re-Entry does not just close a trilogy, it is a statement about survival, spirituality and the liberating chaos of the night.
