Grapefruit Season

Description

The British singer presents his new studio album. The era when James Vincent McMorrow was considered a folk singer-songwriter seems a long way off. In a decade-long career, the Irish artist has carved out a place for himself as a musician and producer able to transcend genres, from R&B to soul and even hip hop (he had also worked with Drake on his album Views in 2016), while remaining independent. Back this year with Grapefruit Season, his new album, McMorrow is determined not to make any more compromises. Supported by Paul Epworth (producer of Adele, Florence and the Machine, Coldplay...), he finished recording this fifth effort in his studio in north London. “Life is chaotic, no one controls it and there is no big revelation. But there is magic.” says McMorrow, and that is the whole idea behind Grapefruit Season, which takes shape through delicate acoustic tracks, dancehall hits and even R&B ballads. With his second single I Should Go, it seems that James Vincent McMorrow is back in masterful form.
