Let It Go
indie pop love at first listen 2010s The Vampire Diaries chillout
“Let It Go” is about young love that ultimately went wrong. After the couple’s tentatively cute time together, their relationship became forced and Bay ultimately suggests a breakup. Its release history is interesting, to say the least. First, it was released as the lead single from Bay’s debut album, Chaos And The Calm in September 2014. However, it achieved much more mainstream success when it was rereleased on May 12, 2015, reaching #10 on the UK singles charts and #16 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Read more on Last.fm.

Bay also received three nominations at the 2016 Grammy Awards, for Best New Artist, Best Rock Album, and Best Rock Song. Hailing from Hitchin, Hertfordshire, Bay gained a reputation thanks to stints at Communion's monthly night at Notting Hill Arts Club in London and a successful run of support slots with Tom Odell, John Newman and Kodaline. He issued his debut EP, The Dark of the Morning, in 2013, with a second extended player, Let It Go, and a third extended player, Hold Back the River, arriving the following year.
