The guise of singer/songwriter James Smith, Good Good Blood creates music to awaken the soul.
Signed to Fox Food Records, James Smith upcoming album, O Belong, marks two years for the label, but an eventual turning point for the musician himself.
Lead single Soak, envelopes the harrowing beauty of Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago, retaining the soft delicacy of this folk music landmark, while still powering through with gentle intricate moments. Hushed brass sections, mixed together with enchanting string arrangements, welcome a new change for Good Good Blood, hopefully marking O Belong as being a landmark album for both James and Fox Food.
O Belong is out April 29th, plus for digital fans, you can pre-order the full LP for just 50p (roughly 70 cents).
