Description:

Irish singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, James Vincent McMorrow, returns to the fore with his seventh full-length album Wide open, horses, out June 14th, 2024. Wide open, horses is a candid snapshot of everything that has brought James to this point. The album signifies a retaking of his own narrative, a freeing self-acceptance, and a rebuilding of both his sense of self and his connection to music. Singles Stay Cool, Never Gone and Give up offer a first taste of what fans can expect, leaning further into the introspective and sincere indie-folk sound of his earlier material, whilst incorporating elements of his more explorative later releases. A unique and particularly special artist project, Wide open, horses was initially performed live having booked two nights at The National Concert Hall in Dublin, where he recorded a handful of lo-fi demos, practiced the material for a week, and then hit the stage prior to ever recording a single song. Phones werent allowed, but James recorded it to see what worked and what didnt work. James has beckoned listeners to open their minds and hearts since his emergence in 2010. Along the way, he gathered over 1 billion streams across an expansive catalog. Among many standouts, Higher Love went BPI Gold in the UK and ARIA platinum in Australia. His cover of Chris Isaaks Wicked Game soundtracked the trailer for Season Six of HBOs Game of Thrones and generated over 130 million Spotify streams on its Live At Killkenny Arts Festival version. Toppling charts, 2016s We Move notably debuted at #1 in Ireland. At the same time, he lent his voice to Hype from Drakes multiplatinum blockbuster Views, Im In Love from Kygos Cloud Nine, and Run Away from dvsns Morning After, among others. Meanwhile, hes sold-out tours on multiple continents, even packing the world-famous Sydney Opera House twice.
