WATCH: James Bay drops his new music video featuring a Stranger Things star
This is great!
James Bay has just dropped the music video for his brand new single 'Wild Love', which was released on the 9th February. The song is his first of the year and is a comeback single for the BRIT Award winner who previously had hits with 'Let It Go' and 'Hold Back the River'.
After teasing the music video on social media, the full video has now been released on YouTube and features a very famous face.
Stranger Things star Natalia Dyer appears in the video, which premiered on Good Morning America earlier today. The actress, who plays the part of Nancy Wheeler (Mike's older sister) in the hit Netflix show, appears as James Bay's love interest in the music video.
As James walks through a crowded nightclub he first sets eyes on Natalia. The video then sees the pair lock eyes and get closer as they are surrounded by hundreds of flying butterflies.
Watch the music video below:
'Wild Love' is the first music to come from James' forthcoming second album, which will be the follow up to his number 1, debut 2015 album 'Chaos and the Calm'.

We caught up with James Bay recently to test his BRITs knowledge, he did surprisingly well when we asked him questions such as how many has he been nominated for, and who he beat to win one of his awards. However, he became a little stuck when he was asked what him and Kylie Minogue had in common the night he won!
