This guy – James Bay – is captivating. At first, in his clip, which is one-take shooting, he starts from the soothing voice, which makes this Lennon-like looking kid be similar to the lost kitten in the big world. As he continues, only within 1 minute from its 3:35, he opens himself as the guitar player and powerful vocal singer, as he shoots with his voice staggeringly. At the beginning of the second minute, when the emphasized refrain is over, he turns almost to the start in the energy. This soothing backing goes only for 40 seconds or so, and at 1:42 he starts his second refrain with the same youthful energy. Yes, fella, you have a little money for now, but we predict you the great future as people with this rock voice simply cannot languish in oblivion. It will take a couple years, true. But you may become the second Chad Kroeger (yes, he has changed a lot visually after breaking up with Avril, but the voice is still with him), the lead voice of Nickelback, Canadian rock band. And we are not now saying that he is going to be the next husband of Canadian Avril Lavigne after Chad, but he has the similar voice and the guts to become a well-known icon performer.
During the clip, there is a feeling that this young man needs to be a little more well-fed, as currently, he looks like a boy from the poor neighborhood. In this case, he will have more resemblance with John Lennon and even Curt Cobain. The second thought – he needs to invest more efforts to work out his style, to look less ‘streets’ guy, to be more focused on the best apparel. And he definitely has to exchange his hat onto something else. Yes, it maybe his ‘salt,’ as he is in it in his many clips, but the entire image makes him a little like Jewish, which is hardly the point to which he strives for.
If you are going to search this guy in Wiki, then do it as follows: James Bay (singer), as otherwise you will be directed to the James Bay, which is the geographical bay in Canada, around Quebec and Ontario. So, the Wiki says this guy is a beginner, only 26, he is a singer-songwriter & guitarist from the UK, who only has 1 album and several singles. It seems like he is holding on his hat everywhere – even on Wiki, his main and supposedly, the best picture, is when he is in the hat. Oh my gosh! Does he actually know that it isn’t his best fit? He must know that there were very few rockers in the hats. So less that their amount strives to absolute zero.
Okay, let him deal with a hat, as he wants to. As for his only for now album – it was released in 2015 and it managed to win the sympathy from listeners – it was #1 in several countries – Switzerland, Ireland, the UK and ##2 or 3 in Austria, Australia, and Germany. Reference: James Bay on Wikipedia
