This Sweet Love
Design by Alexandra Ferrarini aka. Kabuki
There’s a wonderous feeling in the air due to the sweet, charming lyrics and endearing music coming off the guitar strings and laptop of James Yuill. Touted as one of the UK’s buzzed about acts for 2009, you’re going to want to fill your ears with ‘Turning Down Water For Air‘, the debut LP, released 13th October on Moshi Moshi, by the multi-instrumental Londoner.
Plain and simple, ‘Turning Down Water For Air‘ is good, imaginative music, with gems like the second single, “This Sweet Love“, a heartfelt song that encourages you to “be the greatest man in history, the greatest man that you can be”. Though it seems James Yuill was born to sing about life and its relationships, he’s come a long way since a year past when his days were spent at an agency picking out music for TV adverts. Those days are behind him and we’re pleased.
There’s enough dance energy to all this ‘folktronica’, and picking up the tempo on “This Sweet Love” is Norwegian DJ/producer Prins Thomas. Drums of Death and Ruff N Jam had their hands on the tune as well and I must say, Drums of Death really turns this one inside and out!! Listen here.
Lastly, for those that missed the coverage on James this past August over at Discobelle; he won their remix competition for Roots Manuva’s “Buff Nuff”, and in September he showed his Dj skills for their Mixin’ It Up series. Listen to both and download off James’ site and stay updated on all things James Yuill via his blog!
