BRIT Award-winning, three-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and guitarist James Bay unites with the GRAMMY® Award-winning icon Sheryl Crow for new single “You and Me Time”. It marks their first collaboration together.
On the track, breezy humming glides over bright acoustic guitar and claps. Uplifted in the swell of an energetic riff and stomping groove, it culminates on a chantable and cheeky chorus as Bay confesses, “All I want is you and me time.” Meanwhile, Crow counters with a flirty verse of her own before leaping into a sky-high harmony on the hook.
The new single is one of four new tracks featured on a special digital deluxe edition version of Bay’s acclaimed 2024 album, Changes All The Time out this Friday.
The record also includes, “The Elephant,” a song co-written with Holly Humberstone and featuring Maggie Antone. A loose guitar lead gives way to softly strummed chords as Bay’s introspective lyrics strike a chord. During the hook, he accepts, “I can run from it, but I can’t hide, see the elephant from every side.” Lightly plucked acoustic guitar brushes up against his delicate and breathy delivery on “Latchkey Kid.” He sets the scene, “Latchkey kid, heart of gold, no one told you that things will turn out alright.”
James Bay paved the way for Changes All The Time (Deluxe) with the bright, bold, and brilliant “Sunshine In The Room” featuring 5x-GRAMMY® Award winner, EMMY® Award winner, and Academy® Award winner Jon Batiste. The song amassing 3.5 million Spotify streams and counting.
James returns to the US following a sold-out tour in the UK and triumphant sold out Wembley Arena show ahead of kicking off the North America leg of the “Up All Night” Tour this Spring. It marks his first full-scale U.S. headline run since 2023. This jaunt kicks off on April 21 at First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN, rolls through major markets coast-to-coast, and concludes on May 28 at MTELUS in Montreal, QC. Of course, the tour notably shares its moniker with his fan favourite 2024 single “Up All Night” with The Lumineers and Noah Kahan. The single catapulted to #1 on the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay Chart as Bay’s first-ever radio #1 in the States. James will return back to the UK and Europe for a run of several festival slots this summer, including headline slots at Hitchin Priory Summer series and Newbury Racecourse.
