Multi-platinum singer-songwriter James Bay is back with a vibrant new anthem for 2025, "Sunshine In The Room," featuring none other than five-time GRAMMY® Award winner Jon Batiste. The highly anticipated collaboration is available now, marking Bay's first time working with the celebrated musician, composer, and Academy® Award winner.

Regarding the collaboration, Bay shared his excitement: “Working with Jon Batiste for ‘Sunshine In The Room’ is an experience I will never ever forget. He literally burst into the studio like a ray of sunshine and brought so much joy to the sound of the record and the work. He’s a total inspiration, and I hope we can work together again. The song is about having someone in your life who truly lights up the room as soon as they walk in.”

Batiste echoed the sentiment, saying, "James is such a beautiful soul and a great musician. Grateful to make a new friend and create music together. Really excited for the world to hear this song; it's impossible not to love the vibes on this one!"

With shimmering guitar riffs, upbeat piano melodies, and a chorus anchored by joyful harmonies, "Sunshine In The Room" delivers an infectious energy. Horns, handclaps, and Bay and Batiste's seamless vocal interplay create a song that radiates positivity and warmth.
