Oh My Messy Mind
2019 EP by James Bay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oh My Messy Mind is an extended play by British singer-songwriter James Bay. The EP was released on 10 May 2019.
In a press release, Bay said "I wanted to be honest about some of my own stories and other stories I was being pulled into. I regularly write things down in a stream of consciousness to empty my head. Oh My Messy Mind is a line I wrote on a particularly dark day a little while ago. It seemed to reflect a weight that I felt I was carrying at the time, and that comes back now and again. The songwriting that followed was me looking for a release."[2][3]
Bay promoted the EP with appearances on The Artist’s Den, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Today.[2][4]
Critical reception
Mitch Mosk from Atwood Magazine called the EP "breathtaking" saying, "Though it's a bite-sized four tracks in length, the EP packs a serious punch in its assertion of James Bay's inimitable artistry."[5]
