James Vincent McMorrow
Il nuovo singolo è “Rising Water” che anticipa l’atteso album del talento
irlandese intitolato: “WE MOVE”
Album in uscita il 2 Settembre 2016 per Believe Digital Italia
Il disco nasce tra Barcellona, Los Angeles, Toronto, Londra, Dublino e vede
James Vincent Mc Morrow collaborare e co-produrre l’album con i produttori
Nineteen85 (Drake), Two Inch Punch (Years & Years), Frank Dukes (Kayne
West) e Jimmy Douglass (Timbaland). Recentemente James Vincent Mc Morrow ha
collaborato con il DJ/Producer Kygo nel brano “I’m In Love”, è stato campionato
da Drake nel brano “Views” e la sua cover di Wicked Game di Chris Isaak è stata
scelta per il trailer della serie Games Of Thrones
“Rising Water” è il primo singolo che
segna il ritorno di James Vincent
McMorrow, tratto dal suo nuovo album che si intitolerà “We Move” e che uscirà anche in Italia il 2 settembre per Believe Recordings / Self. “We Move” segue il successo dei primi due lavori di questo
straordinario cantautore irlandese, quello del 2010 intitolato “Early In The
Morning” (n°1 in Irlanda) e l’acclamato seguito “Post Tropical” che gli è valso
una candidatura al Choice Music Prize e una serie infinita di show da tutto
esaurito con i picchi della doppia serata all’Opera House di Sydney e quelle al
Barbican e Shepherd Bush Empire a Londra. Il 2016 ha visto protagonista James Vincent McMorrow in parecchi
aspetti. Dallo streaming dove ha superato i 100milioni di stream dei suoi
brani, all’essere campionato dal peso massimo dell’hip hop attuale Drake (nel brano “Views”), una
collaborazione con il producer/dj Kygo
nel brano “I’m In Love” fino alla recentissima scelta di una sua cover di Chris Isaak (Wicked Game) per il trailer della serie TV più seguita del
pianeta, Games Of Thrones. La
release sarà seguita immediatamente da un tour che porterà l’artista in Europa
(non in Italia per questo tour) con l’attesa data alla Roundhouse di Londra il
17 Ottobre.
Written in constant transition – and recorded
between Toronto, Dublin and London – We Move is McMorrow’s most expansive, generous and ambitious record to date.
Yet there is something more stripped-back – vulnerable, even – surfacing for
the first time: far from the dense, protective imagery at the heart of Post Tropical, We Move is ultimately a
record open in its portrait of anxiety and social unease. For James, it’s about
celebrating mental fragility – and how we move forward in life.
The first steps to We Move took place in
2014, when James – having been asked
to write for different artists’ projects – started sketching out ideas for
others on tour (and subsequently stopped over-analysing his own work). Intent
on doing the opposite of everything he’d done thus far, McMorrow then came off the road, but kept exploring: through
Barcelona, Canada and Los Angeles, where the album crystallised. He returned to
Dublin determined not to self-produce again, but to work with people who could
articulate the unique world he heard in his head (“I grew up wanting to write
songs like Neil Young but produce them like The Neptunes”). James reached out to a few key
co-producers he’d met whilst travelling, namely, Nineteen85 (Drake), Two Inch Punch (Years & Years), and Frank
Dukes (Kanye West). Mixing took place with one of McMorrow’s all-time heroes, Jimmy
Douglass - known for his work from Donny Hathaway through to Timbaland
– who finessed the record’s warm, vintage yet forward-thinking feel.
The result is an album about movement –
geographically, mentally, emotionally – which remains focused on finding your
place in that future. Ultimately it embraces a shared, collective awkwardness,
and a sense that maybe we’re all putting on a brave face in some way. Beginning
with the sky-scraper sized catharsis of ‘Rising Water’, We Move continues a
remarkable journey for the Dubliner, whose early work offered little clue as to
the sounds that would follow. It’s a remarkably assured collection, informed by
this idea that you might not have to listen to others when they tell you how
they think life is supposed to go; and that as you grow up, you lose things
along the way. Rather, ‘We Move’
suggests it’s possible to keep what you want to keep, and lose what you want to
lose.
