The Dublin man is back offering up some feel-good, nostalgic vibes.
Fresh from his iconic gig at The Iveagh Gardens that saw live music return to the country, James Vincent McMorrow has delivered the official music video for his latest single, 'Paradise'.
After previously dropping a laid-back lyric video for the track, he offers up a similar relaxed feeling with the new piece.
Starting off, a caption from James greets us, stating that he had trouble coming up with a concept, before thinking "Why don’t I just dig out my rollerblades and film myself learning to skate again in the park behind my house?"
Similar to that initial idea, we find the singer-songwriter roller-skating on an aeroplane runway, and in James' own words, "falling, getting back up, remembering what it felt like to have fun and laughing my absolute arse off the whole day."

Meanwhile, the video comes with the news that his upcoming album, Grapefruit Season, will now be released on September 17 instead of this month.
Recorded in Dublin, Los Angeles and London largely before the pandemic occurred, the album finds James "embracing the timeless fact that life is chaos and the idea of growing up, but still feeling none the wiser.
Although fans will have to wait a little longer for the record, they can tide over that time by watching his streamed show from The Iveagh Gardens.
The concert was the first show in front of spectators in Ireland since the pandemic began, with 350 music fans enjoying the event.
If you weren't lucky enough to attend that gig, you could also catch James Vincent McMorrow on his upcoming tour, which features two dates in Dublin at The Olympia Theatre and one in Belfast.
