James Vincent McMorrow has just unveiled his latest single 'Stay Cool' along with announcing his signing to Nettwerk Music Group.
McMorrow’s falsetto register saturates organic soundscapes accented by folk, indie, and rock elements. Intimacy and emotion bubble at the surface over stirring vocals before settling down into a gorgeous flutter.
Commenting on ‘Stay Cool’, the singer says: "I have lived the last few years amongst a span of trees. There was something comforting in hiding, but it was obscuring the places I wanted to go, and it was obscuring me.
"For me, the winter is when things begin. All the songs and records I'm most proud of have either been created or released during the winter months. You'll listen to this song and hopefully know what it's about, emerging from trees, trying to be open again."
McMorrow's voice has become one of the most recognizable instruments in indie music since his emergence in 2010. Among many standouts, 'Higher Love’'went BPI Gold in the UK and ARIA platinum in Australia. His cover of Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game' soundtracked the trailer for the sixth season of HBO's Game of Thrones and generated over 129 million Spotify streams on its 'Live At Killkenny Arts Festival' version. McMorrow has also collaborated with Drake, Kygo and dvsn, lending his vocals to 'Hype,' 'I’m In Love' and 'Run Away,' respectively.
