Her artistry, songwriting, and vocals are all at an incredibly high level. I really appreciate the approachable style of this track; it’s a common theme about worrying while we watch the world.

…That aspiration feels justified in Tired. The soft production work here calls to mind Rumours and Tusk era Mac, but updated with a modern pop sensibility in the form of the lo-fi kick-drum-led percussion and synth work. That combination feels rich, steeped in emotion and feeling… James’ gorgeous vocal skips atop the sumptuous production whilst creating a sense of contrast with the melodic synth bass line that appears in the chorus.

I found myself wanting to reach for headphones and the ‘skip back’ button so I could really appreciate the detail in Emily James’ performance of Tired. Check it out below:

I am usually sharing music from “bigger” artists, but when I really like it I cannot help myself. This is the case. Somehow the song caught my ears so much I had to relisten to it so many times and still do not have enough. The melody and vocals are just captivating. So good…

death or desire

I found tired after looking through music today, It wasn't sent to me but I had to write about it and lay my thoughts down. At the moment I feel like the single, Not so emotionally unavailable as usual, But today I do feel tired and the artist describes to the t what it really feels like. From the laid back beat, which the producer definitely took their time on and make sure that every element fit in accordingly, it sounds minimal, almost like "not trying" which I hope doesn't contradict my statement, because the track perfectly fits the emotion is all. It sounds like the single would fit in a coming of age movie, this is an emotion every feels or have felt at some point so the song can be relevant after almost any bad situation. James, who co-produced the track, wrote it from a very personal place and wanted to share it in the hopes of helping others who were going through a difficult time.

The chorus is very catchy and Emily’s vocal performance is very very professional which definitely shows how talented she is.

For years, we have kept an ear on the music of young songwriter Emily James. With an impressive catalogue that is growing in both substance and genre, James has built a humble pool of influences and incredible tracks. After moving from New York to Los Angeles, and releasing her debut LP Til The Morning, the artist is ready for continued breakthrough as one of the most talented and approachable singer songwriters. Working with Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Vance Joy) on her last album, the collaboration helped the already gifted James grow in her mature songwriting with little regard to genre or style.

The track will lull you in a peaceful atmosphere.

KmS reviews

The new release of Emily James is really a gamechanger when it comes to defining genre borders. With a seamless change between vulnerable and fragile to energetic and confident, the pace and emotional setting of the song really isn’t something you can put in a box and label it.

…And then there are these vocals. Soft and warm, with a sexy undertone, and with energy in there that lets the listener know that the singer only reveals what she wants you to hear. And it’s clear to me that there is a ton more energy available for this talented artist. James knows how to really transmit emotions and feelings. This way she’s able to tell a story with meaning and value. Heck. With a voice like this, she could sing this song through a cellphone, and I’d still be sitting there, listening in silence.

Popmuzik

American singer-songwriter Emily James releases with Bartender her first single for 2020. Here we get a pleasant and well-written pop song where the singer sings about a relationship and the uncertainty surrounding her decision to end it.

Twenty year-old singer/songwriter Emily James just dropped her EP, ‘Dreaming’. Stated Emily: “I love going into the studio to record my music, but there is such a freedom and intimacy in recording in the space where you spend so much of your time – there’s no clock ticking and there are no boundaries.” At 18, James released her debut album Til the Morning produced by Ryan Hadlock (Lumineers, Vance Joy). The current Los Angeles resident, delivers with multiple genre acumen, incorporating flavors of pop, rock, blues, Americana and folk where they have been inspired by such timeless musical influences like Adele, Bob Dylan, and Fleetwood Mac. The floating whimsy of ‘Lighten Up’ floors your high blood pressure of life, and puts some of it for a different perspective. A reminder of sorts, Emily’s vocals gains your trust and then some.

Vor ein paar Monaten haben wir euch diese US Amerikanerin bereits mit einem anderen Song, im Rahmen unserer Reihe „Reingehört“, vorgestellt. Jetzt hat uns Emily James ein weiteres Mal mit ihrer neuen Single „Dreaming“ überzeugt.

Ihre erste EP „Emily James“ erschien 2016. Mit 18 Jahren, in etwa anderthalb Jahre später, veröffentlichte sie ihr Debüt „Til The Morning“. James geht ihren Weg geradlinig weiter und wandelt geschickt innerhalb der Genre und bleibt ihrem eigenen Sound treu, ohne dabei in ihrer Entwicklung stehen zu bleiben.

Always engaging the listener emotionally with her compositions, LA-based, New York-raised, US singer/songwriter Emily James makes a return with another gripping and powerful song. Titled “I Saw Your Face”, this new record is accompanied by an equally stunning music video.

Talk about pop music

…Emily relocated to Los Angeles in the summer of 2017 and has been writing and producing for her forthcoming EP. Whetting our appetites for this release, we hear another chapter in her ever-unfolding story “I Saw Your Face”. A slow-burning, emotionally intimate ballad that shirks any modern trend, James wears her heart on her sleeve, sharing her aperture on modern love.

B-Sides and badlands

It can hurt to let go even the most unhealthy of relationships. It’s a mark of courage to shed your past and recover your self-worth. “It’s time to listen to your own voice,” prompts New York’s Emily James, who wears her scars as badges of honor. “Never Chase a Boy,” originally released back in 2016, gets a second wind with a fervent, folk-bent acoustic rendering. The guitar weeps behind her as she navigates the burning out of a relationship, one in which she lost the very essence of who she was, and James’ performance displays both imposing restraint and power. “It hurts to look back on all the times he held your hand / You gave him all you had / He took it and ran,” she paints in evocative strokes, unthreading the pain to move on, once and for all. Through the stark lens of recovery, she is able to impart sage wisdom far beyond her years and heal the remaining jagged edges of her own heart. “So afraid of losing him / That you’re losing yourself…”

Can’t Say Goodbye is a new release from American singer-songwriter Emily James, and it truly is a beautiful song.

It’s a sad piano based ballad, and Emily’s soft vocals really help to portray the melancholy tale contained within the lyrics. She chose to keep the song bare on purpose, and this definitely seems to have been a good idea. Check the track out below – it’s simply heartbreaking to hear.

Staccotofy

James’s single, “Can’t Say Goodbye” is a moving ballad with James singing and playing piano. The ballad was written and produced by James, who chose to keep the track unadorned and bare. James explains, "I wanted the production to help convey the raw emotions surrounding a relationship that doesn't survive but is very difficult to let go of." Although the song is a ‘break-up’ song, it still speaks to the love that remains amidst sadness and regret. With a steady chordal pattern on the piano, James’ warm voice sings the catchy melody. The melody has a nice shape with an emotional descending figure that fits the lyrics perfectly. James’ voice sounds full and there are well-placed vocal harmonies that build the track. The track builds very nicely, climaxing with vocal counterpoint and harmonies and James’ strong falsetto voice. James’ wonderful vocal range, including her great falsetto, as well as the exceptional choir-like harmony vocals gives an emotional listening experience. James is certainly one to watch and that’s the short of it!

It’s a beautiful combination of a single acoustic guitar take, a gorgeous voice, and a need to make sense of unfamiliar surroundings. A simple statement can carry power: this is natural to me.

Maybe it’s a type of survival mode, girl armor, this-is-my-destiny kind of thing, but any way you look at it the vocal delivery is understated and powerful and worth of praise. Not everyone can carry a pop song on the back of an authentic vocal and an acoustic guitar, but Emily James certainly can.
