Guitarist James Bay collaborates with Apple music

English singer-songwriter and guitarist James Bay

JP Boardman


James Bay announced his collaboration with Apple Music as part of their latest installment of the Apple Music At Home Session series. For the special edition of the series James covers “Don’t Look Back In Anger” by Oasis and “Trouble” by Coldplay.

On the collaboration, Bay said: "It's funny, I didn't really like Oasis or Coldplay as a kid. I picked up a guitar at 11 years old and wanted to be The Rolling Stones, Clapton, Hendrix. But as I got deeper and deeper into songwriting and studying great songs, I came to love Oasis, Coldplay and more great modern songwriters. I totally fell in love with music. So much so that I now sit and play their songs to myself on guitar, that's why I chose them, they're just so timeless and brilliant."

The session is just one of many recent achievements for Bay as he has taken the world by storm with his current single  “Chew On My Heart.” Performing on The Today Show, Mahogany Sessions, and recently created his own 45-minute 10-song solo set on YouTube in support of #SaveOurVenues- the UK crowd fundraiser started to protect UK grassroots music venues at risk for permanent closure due to COVID-19.
