Lead single from James Bay's second album due out sometime in spring called "Wild Love". The track goes for US Triple A adds on February 12, so it could be released in the week of February 2 or 9.

And now I must survive for this looooong month to finally get what i've been waiting for.
Did I already say I'm excited?
Ofc I am.

I thought he’d already had a second album tbh. I doubt his comeback will do any better than George Ezra’s did

Posted by: HarryEzra Jan 3 2018, 11:42 AM

I am beyond excited for new James Bay!

Posted by: Bjork Jan 3 2018, 12:30 PM

is wild love the name of the single or the album?

he said a while ago that we should ecpect a slight change of style!!

Posted by: cqmerqn Jan 3 2018, 12:40 PM

Hope he flops like George did

Posted by: Bjork Jan 3 2018, 12:44 PM

the george ezra flop was the biggest chart shock of 2017 for me, good song, great video, lots of airplay, placed in playlists, and still nothing

Posted by: JosephCarey Jan 3 2018, 12:45 PM

I'm very intrigued to see what he comes out with! I don't think it'll flop at all, George Ezra's poor performance was pretty shocking but I don't think the same will happen here. At worst I think it'll do a Magnetised by Tom Odell I'd say.

Why is this in pop? Why is it not in the forum it belongs in? The trash can?

YAS!

poor guy looks like he's more hated in here than sam smith

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌴 Jan 4 2018, 03:17 PM

It's the single. The album could have the same title, but there's not any confirmation about that yet.

what's so objectable about James Bay? he's great

Posted by: Lorde Jan 6 2018, 11:59 AM

He’s shit

Posted by: Midge Jan 6 2018, 12:20 PM

I didn't mind/liked James Bay but his image really put me off - as stupid as that sounds. It stopped me being able to take him so seriously. Shallow much

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌴 Jan 27 2018, 08:14 PM

Out on February 8 according to his KROQ interview. You could watch it in the 1:11 min. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rky5jdkk5Ac.

SHORT HAIR I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL HE CUT HIS HAIR

Posted by: CodyOfTheWoods Jan 27 2018, 08:32 PM

I swear to god if this is an improvement from whatever he put out three years ago I will scream

Posted by: lewistgreen Jan 27 2018, 08:52 PM

He looks so much better with short hair!

Posted by: JosephSivan Jan 27 2018, 08:56 PM

This is a lie

Thankfully I'm over the grief now as I saw the pics a lil while ago x

(srsly though I am VERY excited to hear this)

Posted by: BridgeCow Jan 27 2018, 10:04 PM

he looks like a different person lmao what

Posted by: CodyOfTheWoods Jan 27 2018, 10:16 PM

yeah hopefully one with better music

Posted by: HarryEzra Jan 27 2018, 11:44 PM

He already has better music out tho

Posted by: CodyOfTheWoods Jan 28 2018, 06:05 AM

you mean the silence at the end of the album? i agree x

Posted by: Dexton Jan 28 2018, 07:35 AM

Just read that his album was released in 2015! I thought Hold Back The River was like later 2013/early 2014. I hope he comes back with something similar, the string of Hold Back The River>Let It Go>Scars>If You Ever Want to Be in Love>Best Fake Smile was just amazing

Posted by: Bjork Jan 28 2018, 08:45 AM

better with short hair and especially
much better without the silly hat

Will he do a George Ezra?

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌴 Feb 5 2018, 06:05 PM

It depends. There's another song of him coming out next month.

Posted by: JosephSivan Feb 8 2018, 07:39 PM

Very different for him and I don't think I'm sold I'm gonna stick with it and hope it grows but it isn't doing it for me on first listen.

Posted by: Bjork Feb 8 2018, 07:59 PM

sounds like a jack garratt track

Posted by: cqmerqn Feb 8 2018, 08:00 PM

Another single out tomorrow that’s dreadful

Posted by: CodyOfTheWoods Feb 8 2018, 08:01 PM

this is unusually cheap for him

i can see this growing slightly... and then burning off quickly

Posted by: JosephSivan Feb 8 2018, 08:03 PM

This is my thinking too, it sounds like the kinda thing you'd find on some randomer's Soundcloud?

Posted by: Jonjo Feb 8 2018, 08:15 PM

It's not really that different for him? It just sounds like a soundclouder has remixed a track from his debut album to me.

Oops. But yeah. This is too jarring.

Posted by: CodyOfTheWoods Feb 8 2018, 08:29 PM

i meant that as in it sounds like a cheap ripoff of lauv - i like me better but yeah discount soundcloud remix from a dude who promotes himself on youtube comments seems accurate enough

Posted by: Midge Feb 8 2018, 08:34 PM

Not heard it yet but thank goodness he's ditched that 1st album image

Posted by: JosephSivan Feb 8 2018, 08:53 PM

OK it's growing on me already still not quite what I wanted and the production (mainly at the start) is bothersome but I do like how the song builds throughout, I'm a sucker for that.

Posted by: Bjork Feb 8 2018, 09:33 PM

better on 2nd listen but still wih there were acoustic guitars instead of synths
and his voice is too autotuned

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Feb 8 2018, 09:44 PM

!!!



But bitch you listen to Britney's robo-albums post-breakdown?? And Timberlake??

But you are reet tbh

Posted by: Dexton Feb 9 2018, 06:38 PM

This is bad and not what most people want from him. Killed whatever hope of a decent comeback I had tbh. Hopefully whatever is next is a lot better but I won’t hold my breath
