Songs for You, Truths for Me

James Morrison

Gravelly, blue-eyed soul meets high-gloss 2000s production. A collection of earnest ballads and mid-tempo pop-rock fueled by warm acoustic guitars and soaring strings.

Moments Worth Listening For
The friction of the vocal duet on track 5 where the voices pull apart and snap back together over swelling strings.
The rhythmic, percussive acoustic strumming that opens track 6, injecting a sudden burst of Motown-inspired energy.
The raw, unpolished rasp in the bridge of track 3 that feels like a genuine crack in the studio sheen.
