James Keen’s evocative quotients are expansive. They cannot be contained. It flows like a river into an ocean of sentiments, feelings, and nuanced experiences. The London-based singer-songwriter’s style matches this boundless ethos. His soundscapes have flavors of folk, pop, R&B/soul, and even rock; forming a pastiche that is immersive and bottomless. ‘Falling or Flying’ is his latest single, one that was released as he was leading up to his sophomore album, ‘Crossover’. It explores the art of trying and everything that it brings to the table. For you can only ever know what you’re made up of if you try to put on a good show. Be it in love, in art, and in life. 

It is passionate and deep with a vulnerability that will move you. There’s also a contemplative rife to it which compels you to reflect while simultaneously sealing within the listener, a sense of grace and hope. The instrumentals are a textured range. Acoustic plucks, valleys of riffs, soulful vocal edges. The simplicity of fock nicely rides into the electric shine of rock to create a sparkle of musical perspective. Listen Now! 

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
