Flamboyant Illinois born, Nashville based singer-songwriter James Bruner announces the release of his debut album Can’t Keep Wanting You, due for release on 4th Sept & shares the track Wish I Could Stay from it.
This blues-infused slice of alt-rock gold was produced by Nashville’s Shane Weisman and sees James singing about the need to ‘keep moving on’ from toxic relationships with attention seeking people. James explains “it’s about coming to the realisation that someone is just loving the attention & while you can entertain their demands, you have to put yourself first. You may think it’s love but it could well just be infatuation & Wish I Could Stay suggests a way to navigate away from that situation to calmer waters. The track has plenty of space in the arrangement &, dare I say, a taste of funk in there, which has been a new & exciting territory for me to navigate musically. It really steps up when the chords hit in the chorus, giving the track much warmth & openness”.
Ever keen to be on stage, James is off on a tour of the US east coast as special guest for The Unlikely Candidates. Further live dates throughout the summer are being confirmed & he’ll be touring the UK & Germany in the autumn when the album hits the streets.
