GENRE-BENDING vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer Reuben James announces his second EP Slow Down set to be released on 5th June, with the first single “My Line” out now.
The first single features a stellar line up of some of the UK’s finest talent; RnB vocalist and producer Col3trane, East-London rapper Jay Prince, the inimitable London Community Gospel Choir lead vocalist Vula and jazz trailblazer Soweto Kinch.
Offering a journey into the visionary mind of one of the UK’s most promising talents, Slow Down draws on a multitude of influences across RnB, hip-hop, jazz and soul and comes as a reaction to the instant gratification of technology that keeps us constantly “switched on”. “Slow Down is a short body of work that can hopefully allow an escape into a sonic world”, Reuben explains. “It’s a collection of jazz inspired RnB, love songs and other sounds to relax the mind”.
Although perhaps best known for his ongoing collaborations with Sam Smith, which have included numerous world tours alongside cowriting songs for Smith’s 4 million-selling album The Thrill of it All, James has written for and performed with an array of international star acts including the likes of Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, Herbie Hancock, Elton John, Tori Kelly, Little Mix, Disclosure and Liam Payne amongst many others.
