James Bay Wants to Start a Supergroup with The Lumineers and Noah Kahan

James Bay is four albums deep into a career that could’ve seen him settle into the comfortable realm of “indie-darling-goes-commercial.” But, as he tells Kyle Meredith, instead of coasting along, he’s hitting the gas pedal. His latest release, Changes All the Time, might be his most vulnerable and revealing yet. The album’s title says it all — it’s about embracing change, for better or worse. The folk-rock icon dives deep on the new album, so listen now.

Bay knows the balancing act well: How far can you push your sound without alienating your fans? “I’ve learned to keep testing boundaries,” he admits. “Sometimes I push them more for me, but this time it’s about connecting with what my fans love.” For Bay, it’s about finding the sweet spot between what excites him and what resonates with the people who have stuck by him.

As for being part of the scene with artists like The Lumineers and Noah Kahan? He couldn't be happier. In fact, he's ready to join forces. “I’d love to do something like a supergroup tour,” Bay grins. “If they ever get bored of their massive success, I’m ready.”

Bay also has several tour dates lined up in Europe and you can get tickets here.
