Artist to Check Out: Daniel James & 'A Lonely Man' Music Video.

Daniel James is s a 23 year old singer from Northern Ireland. Having been based in London cultivating his musical career for the past 2 years, 2013 has already seen Daniel release two songs entitled 'Jackdaw' and 'The Stone And The Hollow' whose piano laden melodies, emotional, invasive vocals and profound lyricism have already caused quite a stir earning him comparisons between the likes of Kodaline and Tom Odell.

Returning with his new track, 'A Lonely Man' Daniel explains what it's all about:

"'A Lonely Man' is based on parallel stories. One part expresses my own struggles with everyday life and another part expresses my imagination of what 'struggling' actually entails. Researching old reference books and documentaries, I focussed on the struggle of the slaves in chain gangs in America in the nineteenth century. I tried to harness old slave/gospel type vocal rhythms in the track to reflect the parallel story. 'A Lonely Man' is a story of one man's battle, both real and imagined.'"

Incredibly catchy, contemplative and captivating the song comes with a video directed by Elena Bechthold and Hans Hertel and follows the solitary wanderings of actor Josia Krug that fits perfectly with the meaning of the song. Keep your eyes peeled and your ears open because Daniel James is definitely a name we think you'll be hearing a whole lot more of in the near future.
