James Gillespie: Momentum
James Gillespie’s Second Album
English born, Scottish raised singer songwriter James Gillespie emerges as one of the most quietly explosive artists in recent memory.
Evoking the kinds of sounds that earned artists like James Blake and Hozier instant kudos, the artist making music between the spaces has stolen the attention of his ever increasing audience of fans through composing heartfelt stories about missing home and missing loves left behind; the new seductions of the city and the darkness within it. The innate feeling, gravel pounded vocal and technical ability make up a uniquely engaging artist.
Whilst a global pandemic attempts to pause the creativity of artists like James, he is defying these restrictions, continuing to write and produce, following a trajectory that has already gained him acclaim amongst the biggest tastemakers and artists alike.
Working now internationally with producers, animators, editors & curators, James makes the most out of any situation. With support from the Momentum Fund, not only does the album promise to be bigger and better than the last, but everything will be completed to the highest degree.
After selling out 11 venues of a 12-date European tour, James’ UK tour in October will be just as, if not more impactful than the last.
Regardless of the current global situation, James Gillespie is set to take 2020 by storm.
