Brave James – Spaceship (feat.Louis Cole)

London-based singer and songwriter Brave James returns today with one of the week’s most infectious bops.

Serving listeners with a refreshingly unique and eccentric sound that incorporates elements of jazz with dreamy indie-funk, ‘Spaceship’ is truly a song like none other.

“’Spaceship’ started as this never-ending harmonically-wild piano loop. As I was continuing to build the groove up, I knew that I had to reach out to my friend Louis Cole as the song really lent itself to his amazing drumming. The process felt very easy between the two of us despite being countries apart at the time of making this. There was something quite magical about the soundworld when all the elements came together.”

With support from the likes of BBC Sounds and BBC Introducing, Brave James is showing themselves to be one of the most interesting new artists to emerge from the Capital.

New Music: Brave James

A beautifully dreamy sound from London-based artist Brave James. With captivating vocals and a mesmerising melody, ‘Soldier’ blends electro-pop grooves with a militaristic marching beat in the most charming way imaginable.

“‘Soldier’ speaks to me as an anthem for what my debut album is about, and it set the direction for the record. I knew that I wanted to integrate vocal harmonies with electronic atmospheres over this marching, militant groove. I was also experimenting at the time with cassette looping and a bunch of fun stuff. It all just kind of bled its way into the track. I felt like I wanted to write something about navigating lingering memories and feelings from past relationships.”
