MORE Indie Invaders / POSTED BY: KINGSOFAR

James Hersey returns with a mega-hit, “Let It Shine.” The new track has everything it should have: a big chorus, sappy lyrics, and James’s radio-ready voice that can make anything he sings sound great.

The new track comes off the new album Let It Shine Album which was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Jeoff Harris (K Flay, Royal & The Serpent).

James says, “My intention behind this album was to create a timeless body of work that tells brutally honest stories from my life. Stylistically I wanted to create a fusion of modern and traditional songwriting and production. It explores painful and positive personal experiences of the past years, centred around the song (and album title) “Let It Shine” – my mantra of perseverance in the face of inner and outer adversity. Musically I want the album to stand out from my previous, more cerebral work, as an energetic and physically compelling album that wants to be seen and experienced as much as heard. It’s written to be performed with my band without the need for computers on stage – to showcase the depth and power of live musicianship, as well as stand against the flood of purely digital music being produced nowadays. Most of the album was recorded in a traditional studio setting – big rooms, loud instruments, and fully analog signal chains that were then mixed and summed digitally to extract the best of both worlds. Three songs were built directly from their original writing demos to preserve their spontaneous nature.”
