Australian artist
Jarryd James is on a mission.
Atmospheric R&B songwriting placed within an electronic landscape, his work is suggestive and uniquely potent, matching a commitment to sound design alongside taut, and personal lyricism.
His new album P.M. is out now, and it is making waves in his native Australia and right here in the UK, a potent song cycle that covers loss, recovery, and renewal.
Album cut Don t Forget brings together the multi-faceted strands of his artistry, and it locates Jarryd James operating in an electronic sphere.
The song finds Jarryd working alongside Andrew Wyatt, a pop auteur who has sculpted colossal hits alongside his role in Swedish group Miike Snow.
