James Bay released a four track EP this week. On My Messy Mind features four awe-inspiring tracks. Each song has its own identity and seems to transport you to a different corner of Bay’s creative mind. His heartfelt vocals perfectly enrich the thoughtful instrumentation. James Bay is a top notch musician and songwriter and this EP is the perfect placeholder until he releases new music again. Listen to Bad on our New Impressions playlist.
