Back in 2009, I believe, I went
to see a band called Kid British (you can check them out here) play at
the iTunes festival. I’d only recently discovered the band but I fell in love
with them – particularly the vocals of one singer. Years down the line, one
vocalist leaves and the band eventually split in order to follow solo careers.
The vocalist that left was James
Mayer and he has, from the very first time I heard a Kid British song, had the
ability to captivate me entirely and give me goosebumps – as a direct result of
his vocals. There’s something about it; a certain depth and roughness that
helps him portray emotion with ease.
Performing under the name Mayer,
James has released two videos on his YouTube channel and both of them are
incredible. '10 More Minutes' is my personal favourite but, in all honesty, I
love them both a tremendous amount.
The lyrics and general sound of
the tracks are amazing but, for me, it’s the vocals that outshine everything
else. His voice is incredibly unique and easy to listen to it. I can’t rave
about him enough.
Mayer has been working hard on
his upcoming EP which will be available soon and I, for one, cannot
wait to hear it. I’ll definitely be reviewing it as soon as it’s available! He’s
also filming a video soon for his first single. Exciting! I just couldn't wait to share his talent with you!
What do you think…
Are you looking forward to hearing Mayer’s EP?
