Let It Go

James Bay

Stripped-back acoustic soul and indie folk. A masterclass in vocal restraint and hollow-body guitar warmth, capturing the quiet ache of moving on.

June 3, 2014 · Mercury

A quiet, dignified sadness that eventually finds its way toward acceptance.

Moments Worth Listening For
The breathy transition into the falsetto hook on the title track
The subtle grit in the vocals when the electric guitar swells during the bridge
The way the final acoustic chord rings out into total silence
