James Bay – Chaos and the Calm (Vinyl LP)

British singer/songwriter James Bay’s highly anticipated full-length debut, Chaos And The Calm (Republic Records) follows-up on the success of his three EPs The Dark of the Morning (2013), Let It Go (2014) and Hold Back the River (2014). Driven by his soulful delivery, captivating storytelling, and inimitable spirit, Bay is poised to capture the attention of listeners everywhere in 2015. Amongst Chaos And The Calm’s twelve tracks are the two singles “Hold Back the River” and “Let It Go.”

Bay hails from the tiny town of Hitchin, but he cut his teeth performing at London’s iconic venues including opening for The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park, opening for two sold out tours with Kodaline, John Newman and Tom Odell. It was at one of these very performances that a fan filmed his set and shared the video on YouTube. The video quickly caught the attention of Republic Records who ended up flying Bay to New York and signing him on the spot.
