New York, NY (Top40 Charts) James Bay released the official video for his single "Bad". The video sees BAY emotionally floating through New York as he performs his hit single. The video features some never before performed stunts through some of New York's iconic streets and even an iconic shot in Times Square.
On the video BAY said: "I was handed a video treatment that said "James floating around New York City, suspended on a chair, hanging off the back of a truck." What isn't to love about that!? I was never going to turn that opportunity down! And it was genuinely one of the greatest experiences... the camera crew and the cops who escorted us around Manhattan and Times
Square said they'd never seen anything like it in the city before."
"Bad", which was produced by
Dan Wilson (Adele "
Someone Like You"), quickly became a fan favorite after BAY added it to his set list during his recent US headline tour this spring and nearly 10 million streams online. The EP also features two additional new tracks "Break My
Heart Right" and the song "
Rescue" which was co-written by Ryan Tedder produced by Ariel Rechtshaid. Oh My Messy Mind also features hit single "Peer Pressure" [feat. Julia Michaels] which has already amassed nearly 46 million-plus Spotify streams and counting. Last month, the two made their network television debut of the song on The
Ellen DeGeneres Show: Check out the performance here and the official music video here.
2019 is shaping up to be a big year for Bay. He just finished up a headlining tour and two sold out shows at New York City's Beacon Theater. Currently he is joining
Ed Sheeran on his European stadium tour. Check out the full itinerary below and purchase tickets here: https://www.jamesbay.com/tour
