Wide open, horses is a candid snapshot of everything that has brought James to
this point. The album signifes a retaking of his own narrative, a freeing selfacceptance, and a rebuilding of both his sense of self and his connection to
music. Singles "Stay Cool", "Never Gone" and "Give up" offer a frst taste of what
fans can expect, leaning further into the introspective and sincere indie- folk
sound of his earlier material, whilst incorporating elements of his more
explorative later releases.
A unique and particularly special artist project, Wide open, horses was initially
performed live having booked two nights at The National Concert Hall in Dublin,
where he recorded a handful of lo-f demos, practiced the material for a week, and
then hit the stage prior to ever recording a single song. Phones weren't allowed,
but James recorded it to "see what worked and what didn't work."
James has beckoned listeners to open their minds and hearts since his
emergence in 2010. Along the way, he gathered over 1 billion streams across an
expansive catalog. Among many standouts, "Higher Love" went BPI Gold in the
UK and ARIA platinum in Australia. His cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game"
soundtracked the trailer for Season Six of HBO's Game of Thrones and generated
over 130 million Spotify streams on its Live At Killkenny Arts Festival version.
Toppling charts, 2016's "We Move" notably debuted at #1 in Ireland. At the same
time, he lent his voice to "Hype" from Drake's multiplatinum blockbuster Views,
"I'm In Love" from Kygo's Cloud Nine, and "Run Away" from dvsn's Morning After,
among others. Meanwhile, he's sold- out tours on multiple continents, even
packing the world-famous Sydney Opera House twice.
