Self-Titled Album From Brendan James Released Today

As a follow-up to 2008's critically acclaimed debut The Day is Brave, singer-songwriter Brendan James has released his self-titled second album today. Recorded in James’ new hometown of Los Angeles (where he relocated permanently after seven years in New York City), the album is as layered in personality as the artist who made it. Brendan and producer Warren Huart (The Fray) added a number of musical textures to the album, but kept the focus on his expressive piano-playing and emotive lyrics. “My lyrical style is unmovable I’ve found,” he says. “I have tried to write a little more abstractly, but I just can’t. You are what you are and my heart is on my sleeve. I am a romantic as well as an optimist...I think my songs have this heaviness meets romance meets positivity.”
To experience Brendan for yourself, watch his music video for first single "The Fall" and a live performance of the track "The Lucky Ones," which is featured in the trailer for the upcoming film How Do You Know. He is on tour now in support of the record - find tour dates and ticket information, as well as Brendan's latest blog posts, at BrendanJames.com. The album is available now, in stores and on iTunes.
