James Alexander Bright Float
K7 Records
Two years after the release of his much-loved debut album, the blissed out and sun-kissed UK singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer James Alexander Bright returns with another utterly beguiling record where joy and contentedness spills from every pore. Full of woozy guitars, whirring synths, warm harmonies, muted melodies, lo-fi electronics, deep bass and low-slung grooves, is a brilliantly laidback and sanguine record. Shifting seamlessly between pop, funk, soul, electronica, indie and touches of world music, stand out. Like astraddles that sense of intimacy and interconnection with aplomb. Soulful vocals and jazz-like, improvisational drums are yet further manifestations of that sense of life, energy and colour that bristles throughout this wonderfully open and joyous album. Capturing the fullness and vivacity of life, even in the quiet, scaled-down moments, is an innate ability for Alexander Bright, who is also an illustrator, and it is that ability to bring his music to life that marks him out as a highly creative and stylised artist.
