2019–present: Solo endeavors

[edit]

In July 2019, Disney announced that Bailey had been cast as Ariel, the titular mermaid, in The Little Mermaid, a live-action remake of the 1989 animated film of the same name. Following the announcement, her casting caused a backlash, with some claiming that casting an African-American in the role of Ariel was unfaithful to the original character.^[41]^[42] Director Rob Marshall said that Bailey "possesses that rare combination of spirit, heart, youth, innocence, and substance—plus a glorious singing voice—all intrinsic qualities necessary to play this iconic role".^[43] In an interview with Deadline, Marshall expressed that he was brought to tears by Bailey's singing. Explaining how "Bailey was able to embody everything else that he was looking for with Ariel...she set the bar way too high for any other hopefuls to match.^[44]^[45] In response to the criticism, Disney defended their casting and stated that Ariel "is a mermaid".^[46]

The Little Mermaid was released in May 2023. Bailey received praise from critics for her performance, earning nominations for the Black Reel Award for Outstanding Breakthrough Performance, the Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor, and the People's Choice Award for Female Movie Star of the Year.^[47]^[48] She also recorded and performed the soundtrack for the film.^[49]

In 2023, Bailey starred in the musical period drama film The Color Purple, based on stage musical of the same name. The film was directed by Blitz Bazawule and produced by Steven Spielberg, Quincy Jones, Scott Sanders and Oprah Winfrey.^[51] As a part of the ensemble cast, Bailey received the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Ensemble Cast in a Motion Picture as well as nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Acting Ensemble. Bailey played the role of young Nettie and performed four songs on the soundtrack, including the promotional single "Keep It Movin''", which won the Black Reel Award for Outstanding Original Song and was shortlisted for Best Original Song at the 96th Academy Awards.^[52]^[53]

On August 4, 2023, Bailey's debut single as a solo artist, "Angel", was released.^[54] The song was nominated at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song.
