Eva James is a singer-songwriter from New England. Her new single, The One You Lose, continues her path in dark pop, shaped by quiet tension and steady rhythm. She draws from the raw storytelling of classic artists, with echoes of Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, and Grace Potter running through her sound. Her songs turn inward, focusing on loss, change, and distance, often letting silence do as much work as melody.

In 2023, she won the Gloucester 400th Anniversary Singer-Songwriter Challenge, a performance that helped grow her local following. That same year, she worked with Grammy-winning artist Paula Cole in New York, laying early groundwork for her debut album, Earth to Eva, which is set for release in 2025.

The One You Lose could sit naturally on Spotify playlists like Sad Indie, Women of Indie, Moody Mix, Dark & Stormy, or Indie Pop & Chill. On tour, James would pair well with artists like Sharon Van Etten, Brandi Carlile, Angel Olsen, Lucius, Maggie Rogers, or Lissie—acts that also lean into quiet force, personal writing, and spacious sound.
