Irish singer-songwriter Gavin James has followed up the release of his latest single, “Glow”, with a music video shot in and around his hometown of Dublin, featuring iconic locations that kick-started Gavin’s career and featuring several cameo’s including his parents and famous musicians. Watch it here:
Lifted from his forthcoming sophomore album ‘Only Ticket Home’ (due for release October 26th), “Glow” (mixed by Mark Ralph – Clean Bandit, Jess Glynne, Years and Years, Rudimental) finds Gavin James in familiar territory following on sonically from his previous worldwide hits “Nervous (The Ooh Song)” and “Tired” with an up-tempo pop anthem, complete with infectious hooks and a full band, that helps to set the tone for his new album ‘Only Ticket Home’.
“Glow was one of the first songs I recorded for the album and set the mood for every other song on the album after that sonically so as people listen to the album, there is a natural flow to the album.”
Gavin explains this new journey for us – “I’m so happy to release “Only Ticket Home” to the world on October 26th. I have been on the road constantly since the release of my first record “Bitter Pill” and this new collection of songs are about the whole process of being away from home and the people you love (it’s also about how amazing it was to be on tour and travel around the world for the last 3 years)… The record as a whole is very far away from “Bitter Pill”, I really wanted to step a bit away from the world of ballads with this one so the majority of the record is fairly upbeat. It’s very much a record of happy sad songs.”
With over 800M streams across Gavin James catalogue to date, 2M singles sold, 50 multi-platinum records from Ireland all the way to Brazil and having performed to over 3 million people around the world so far, “Glow” looks set to become Gavin James’ biggest single to date.
