About James Bay

Everything about James Bay comes from the heart, starting with his quivering, emotional singing on 2014’s breakthrough power ballad “Hold Back the River.” Raised in the English town of Hitchin, the singer/songwriter (born James Michael Bay in 1990) began learning guitar at age 11 before moving to Brighton at 18 to study classical guitar while developing his live chops on the open-mic circuit. Even after opening for Taylor Swift on her 1989 tour, Bay appeared no less humble. That everyman sincerity shapes the organic, gospel-like builds that mark his 2015 debut album, Chaos and the Calm, as well as 2018’s stylistically ambitious Electric Light. “I’ve pushed my own boundaries and explored sounds I hadn’t touched on in the past,” he told Apple Music. Produced by Paul Epworth (Adele, Rihanna), that far-reaching second album takes inspiration from rock contemporaries like The Black Keys and The War on Drugs while adding beaming synths and hip-hop-style skits. Yet when the record closes with a passage from Allen Ginsberg’s love poem “Song,” it’s clear we’re still hearing the sensitive soul who has built his brand on meaningful songcraft.

James Bay Returns with Impassioned New Single “Goodbye Never Felt So Bad”

by Lorie Liebig August 11, 2023, 5:07 pm

Singer/songwriter James Bay is back with his first new music since the release of his 2022 album  Leap . Today (August 11), the 32-year-old talent shared the heartache-driven track “Goodbye Never Felt So Bad.”

Videos by American Songwriter

Co-written by Bay and Phil Plested, Bay’s latest single mixes vulnerable lyricism with the familiar pop sensibilities that have earned him acclaim since his 2013 debut. 

“‘Goodbye Never Felt So Bad’ is a song about how crazy it can feel to say goodbye,” Bay says in a statement. “There’s rarely ever anything good about it. I say goodbye to the people I love constantly, it comes with the territory of my work. I’m always traveling. It’s an amazing job, but everything in life has its upsides and downsides.”

The Grammy Award nominee says an overwhelming response from fans motivated him to release the song as soon as he could. “This summer, I started playing the song live, way before I even knew it would be released,” he adds. “I just wanted to share new music for the thrill of it. You can’t ask an audience to like something, but every time my fans put their hands in the air, clapped along, and by the last chorus, they were singing the words. It’s been unbelievable. I’m really excited to share the recording with the world.”

In the song, Bay reiterates the painful longing he feels from being separated from the focus of his passions.

Goodbye never felt so bad / Just as soon as you’re gone, I want you back / Darling, I know, we said, “No tears” / Said, “No need to be sad” / Goodbye never felt so bad

Fans will have to wait a little longer for details about any future album release plans, although more new music will likely arrive by the end of the year.

In the meantime, fans can catch Bay on the road performing a mix of headlining shows and support for The Lumineers through the end of September. A complete list of upcoming tour dates is available via Bay’s official website .

James Bay 23rd November 2022

Time: 19:00 - 23:00, price: £27.50 + bf, sjm presents james bay 14+ (under 16s must be accompanied by an adult) plus support from kevin garrett.

BRIT Award-winning multi-platinum singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist James Bay today announces a new UK Winter Tour scheduled for later this year.

Kicking off in Bournemouth on the 20 th November, the ten-date tour sees him playing venues across the UK including Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Dublin, London’s Brixton Academy, and culminating at Bristol’s O2 Academy. 

The announcement follows Bay’s recent sold-out UK tour in April, his first with a full band in three years which received rave reviews including Gigwise who stated, “ If anyone ever doubted James Bay’s rockstar status, this would be the show to prove them wrong.” Back in late January, James embarked on a highly successful run of dates across the UK’s grassroots venues in celebration of Independent Venue Week, which gave fans the unique experience of seeing him perform alone with his guitar in an intimate setting. This summer, Bay will play a number of UK festivals before heading out to the US to join The Lumineers on their 2022 Brightside World Tour.

Bay also shares the beautiful music video for his new single ‘One Life’. The track was teased across socials, describing the track James said, “This is a song I wrote about me and Lucy. We first got together at 16 and have been together ever since. She’s supported me since day one. From open mic nights, right through to my biggest shows. It’s been one adventure after another, but now we’re on the biggest one of all.  Raising our beautiful daughter Ada.” The stunning visuals for the video chart a relationship between a couple, while milestone memories are captured in a way that resemble a very personal and intimate home movie.
