Singer-songwriter James Bay releases his third album Leap, a return to the smooth acoustic roots of his 2014 debut Chaos and the Calm. Leap emerged as Bay worked to rise from a personal low-point through his writing, having struggled with fear and anxiety in addition to bouts of self-doubt in 2019. He didn’t know at the time that he was already halfway through the process of creating a complete record, having released his sophomore record Electric Light only a year prior. But by working through his internal turmoil by putting pen to paper, releasing the feelings he never wanted to share, the artist says he created “some of the most hopeful and uplifting music I have ever made.”
This deluxe edition features 4 all-new bonus tracks!
“I didn’t realize I was only halfway through making my third album when I came across John Burroughs’ quote 'leap and the net will appear.' It was in a book about creative rediscovery and those words really sparked something in me. I was reading it because I was lost, feeling worthless. By 2020 I’d written a new batch of sad songs. I recorded them and thought the record was done. Then suddenly the world shut down and I couldn’t tour my new music. All I could do was stay home and write more. That’s when the album really started to take shape. It turns out there is light to be found even in the darkest moments.”
