The heartfelt new single is available now
Back with a bright, bold, and brilliant anthem for 2025, James Bay shares a new single entitled “Sunshine In The Room” featuring Jon Batiste available now. The track marks the pair’s first collaboration together.
“Working with Jon Batiste for ‘Sunshine In The Room’ is an experience I will never ever forget,” Bay shares. “He literally burst into the studio like a ray of sunshine and brought so much joy to the sound of the record and the work. He’s a total inspiration, and I hope we can work together again. The song is about having someone in your life who truly lights up the room as soon as they walk in.”
Bottling this light, the track’s slick guitar struts through a swinging piano melody anchored to a head-nodding beat. The back-and-forth between Bay and Batiste radiates unfiltered joy over horns and handclaps. It culminates on a soaring refrain, “You burn so bright. You’re like sunshine in the room.” “Sunshine In The Room” is ultimately heartfelt, hypnotic, and heavenly!
“James is such a beautiful soul and a great musician,” Batiste adds. “Grateful to make a new friend and create music together. Really excited for the world to hear this song, it impossible to not love the vibes on this one!”
Bay will return to the road in North America for his much-anticipated Up All Night Tour this spring. It marks his first full-scale U.S. headline run since 2023. This jaunt kicks off on April 21st in Minneapolis, rolls through major markets coast-to-coast, and concludes on May 28th in Montreal. The tour notably shares its moniker with his fan-favorite 2024 single “Up All Night” with The Lumineers and Noah Kahan. The single catapulted to No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay Chart as Bay’s first-ever radio No. 1 in the States.
