Singer-songwriter Brendan James is set to release his second album tomorrow, September 7th. To celebrate, Contest Corner and Total Assault would like to give one lucky reader a signed CD and poster, so read on!
About Brendan James:
Despite the title of his new single “The Fall,” soulful singer-songwriter Brendan James is definitely on the rise. After releasing his acclaimed debut The Day is Brave in 2008, Brendan, a native of New Hampshire, signed with Universal/Decca Records. Now, he is ready to release his self-titled sophomore effort on September 7th. He says of the record: ” The album is self-titled because I feel like it’s my first recording that really showcases the different sides of me as a musician. It’s got everything from the mellow to the upbeat, to the somber to the unabashedly positive… I have a lot of different sides and I wanted to make sure my music reflected that.”
While the new album keeps the spotlight on Brendan’s emotionally resonant voice and expressive piano-playing (the legendary Carly Simon describes him as having “a voice that can change the world”), he and producer Warren Huart (Augustana, the Fray) added in musical textures like synths, strings, and even drum loops to keep things interesting. The romantic first single “The Fall” is an excellent showcase of all that Brendan has to offer. The music video was directed by friend and actor Justin Baldoni, and stars Melissa Ordway of The Last Song and Melrose Place, along with Greek’s Amber Stevens. Watch it here to experience Brendan for yourself, and listen for Brendan’s track “The Lucky One” in the trailer for new Sony film How Do You Know, starring Jack Nicholson, Owen Wilson, and Reese Witherspoon.
Brendan’s album is available for pre-order now on iTunes, but until then he is offering a free download of song “Stupid For Your Love” on his website, at BrendanJames.com/FreeDownload. Stay tuned to the site for all the latest updates!
