Chaos and the Calm is the debut studio album by English singer-songwriter James Bay. It was released on 23 March 2015 through Republic Records. The Official Charts Company reported that Chaos and the Calm debuted at number one in the UK chart on Sunday 29 March 2015, having sold over 64,000 copies in the first week of release.
2016 GRAMMY Nominee (Best Rock Album, Best New Artist, Best Rock Song) James Bay is releasing a deluxe CD version of his debut album Chaos And The Calm including 7 tracks that have never been available on a physical CD to record stores first, starting on Record Store Day.
James Bay has announced plans for new album 'Electric Light'. The songwriter's vastly successful debut established a certain formula, one he seems to veer away from on this new record. Constructed in East London's Baltic Studios, the singer worked alongside Jon Green and Paul Epworth to construct the material. He comments: “If I had to describe my first album visually it would probably be a flame - while this new album is about a real sonic and artistic evolution for me. The feeling of a 100 watt bulb expanding and brightening is what I envisioned. Electric Light came to my mind and I knew it was perfect.”

Selten haben zwei Dinge so gut zueinander gepasst wie Liebe und Musik. Beide sind untrennbar miteinander verbunden. Ein Leben ohne Liebe ist nicht vorstellbar; ein Leben ohne Musik kann nur ein Irrtum sein. Beide lassen uns fühlen, leiden, reißen uns mit und manchmal auch runter, lassen uns schier explodieren vor lauter Begeisterung, enttäuschen uns, euphorisieren uns. Sie bringen uns zum Lachen und zum Weinen. Und bei beiden steht eines im Mittelpunkt: das Gefühl.
Rarely have two things so well fitted together like love and music. Both are inseparable. A life without love is inconceivable; a life without music can only be a mistake. Both make us feel, suffer, tear us with and sometimes down, let's seemingly explode out of sheer enthusiasm, disappoint us, euphoric us. They make us laugh and cry. And in both of takes center stage: the feeling.
