ive just got around to noticing this artst that was awarded "critics choice" at the Brits a couple of weeks ago...
"critics choice" award is given to the newcomer who the industry heavyweights in the UK believe will be the
"next big thing" each year...
this year they gave it to a young artist called JAMES BAY....
now James Bay may be better known for it being a section of water on the Hudson Bay in Canada,
but....
ive just heard his single on the radio today for the first time and i was impressed by it...
