Welcome to 2015, and welcome to your first YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS ARTIST OR YOUR EARS WILL HATE YOU FOREVER act of the year.
James Bay, you guys. James. Baaaaay. You have to listen to this dude sing or your ears will leave your face and move in with someone who treats them better.
He is the winner of the Brit’s Critics’ Choice Award (aka the next in line after Adele, Sam Smith, Florence + The Machine). He placed #2 on the BBC 1 ‘Sound Of 2015’ Poll. He opened for The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park. He wears a pretty sweet hat. His first single ‘Hold Back The River’ debuted at #1 on the UK singles chart, and is gaining traction around the rest of the world as we speak.
When was the last time you got to back a winner for an entire calendar year?
