Electric Light

James Bay

A neon-lit evolution from folk to synth-driven pop rock. Shimmering guitars and falsetto hooks capture the restless energy of a city at night.

It's like James Bay traded his fedora for a leather jacket and a synthesizer, and it totally works.

A restless, high-voltage search for connection amidst the noise of a modern city.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden pivot from the intimate, conversational intro into the distorted, driving guitar riff of 'Wasted on Each Other'.
The shimmering, Prince-inspired synth-pop explosion during the chorus of 'Pink Lemonade'.
The way the production strips back to a raw, gospel-tinged vulnerability during the climax of 'Us'.
