Singer, songwriter, and guitarist James Bay has revealed “Everybody Needs Someone”, the latest track to be released from his highly anticipated third full-length album, Leap. Out July 8th via Mercury/Republic Records, the album is available for pre-order and pre-save HERE.
On the new track Bay said, “In these last couple weeks before Leap arrives, I want to share one more song with you. It’s called “Everybody Needs Someone. I love this song so much. I know in hindsight that despite lots of fun work and touring back in 2019 I wrote this song because I was feeling lost and alone. The feeling came like a quiet tidal wave. It really threw me around for a while. But thanks to the people closest to me in my life, I made it through that time. They know how to hold me up when I’m down. I hope you all love this song too. So excited for you to have it. x”
James Bay is ready to hit the road across the country in support of the album, with newly announced headline dates in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Washington, DC.
