James Gillespie has undeniably enjoyed his strongest year yet and is closing it with what can be considered a big finale to his 2019 releases; his debut album ‘Safe’. An artist who has gone from strength to strength, erupting support from tastemakers across the board including The Line of Best Fit, Complex, Tmrw and Clash Magazine, James Gillespie has cemented himself as a true talent, on the cusp of breaking.
Following his strong double release “Kerosene” & “Beyond Today”, which garnered over 9M streams, as well as his latest sensational single “Hold Me Down”, English born, Scottish-raised singer/songwriter James Gillespie finally appeases his fans as he unveils his long awaited debut album ‘Safe’.
Incorporating a selection of already beloved hits like “Dead In The Water” and “What You Do” with some brand-new cuts like “ICFTI” and “Home”, fans and new listeners alike will be taken on an emotional journey through the album, carried along by James’ candid song writing and grit-filled, moving vocals. Guitar-led masterpieces are at the center of this new project, dressed in subtle tinges of electronica for quite frankly soul-stirring production. Exhibiting the same level of poise, vulnerability and integrity that fans have come to love, ‘Safe’ promises to deliver
Summarising the sentiments, James puts it best: “SAFE is massive part of my life that covers the sun, the dirt – the heartache and the confusion of the last few years. It hurts to listen to half of them. In fact it hurts to listen to all of them. Its not a reason or explanation of me. Its heart-out-the-mouth without thinking. Its the late nights and the morning afters. The only time i felt safe was when writing them. Now they are all out to the world.
Developing his sound and honing his ability to tell the most intimate of stories, James has acquired fans from tastemakers across the board, the likes of COMPLEX, CLASH, SHORTLIST and THE LINE OF BEST FIT. Since brilliantly entering the scene, he’s knocked out a string of sold out London headline shows, acquired over 61M total streams and worked with some of the best producers in the industry – a co-sign to the incredible talent that he is.
With his 12 date UK/EU tour firmly on the horizon, ‘Safe’ is a glorious celebration of an incredible artist and a beautiful milestone in what is sure to be long and fruitful career ahead.
