August 21, 2024Aug 21 Well this was a bit of a misfire then. I guess it's the public's way of saying they just aren't interested in James Bay anymore which is sad.
August 21, 2024Aug 21 Author Yeah it's a shame that this never really took off. Not too surprised really though, most of the chart is TikTok hits and that's always quite a lottery. It didn't have any major playlisting either. Even most of Noah & The Lumineers' bigger hits in recent years have been thanks to TikTok. Still though, it's doing better in streams than most of James' songs in recent years!
August 21, 2024Aug 21 Well this was a bit of a misfire then. I guess it's the public's way of saying they just aren't interested in James Bay anymore which is sad. I think this is something that became apparent many, many years ago in fairness. (Still bitter about 'Chew On My Heart' doing nothing)
August 21, 2024Aug 21 I wouldn't call it a misfire when there's no real expectation for James Bay to be making the singles chart these days anyway - I'd assume this came closer (given it featured in the Monday update at one stage) than any other James song would in 2024. It's an alright song, not one of his best though, I hope there's better on the album.
August 21, 2024Aug 21 the song is ok but not wowowow, which is a pity cos with a better song and considering it's got noah on it, I'm sure it would have been a hit
August 21, 2024Aug 21 Author The album has been moved back to October 4th. Preview of a new song: View this post on Instagram
August 22, 2024Aug 22 I have a feeling his record label thought 'Up All Night' would have been a sure fire hit with Noah's involvement so I'm surprised it isn't pushed back further.
August 29, 2024Aug 29 Author Good to hear the folky sound continuing, judging from the Insta preview.
October 8, 2024Oct 8 Just given the album a listen and it's a bit of a mixed bag. Apart from the two singles, the standouts for me are 'Hope', 'Hopeless Heart' and the beautiful 'Crystal Clear'. The rest of the songs aren't bad but not sure if it's something I'll be going back to.
October 9, 2024Oct 9 surprised how well he's doing in the mids, #5 with 5.5K didn't think he had the fanbase to sell that
