The work of James Campbell has been a true revelation for me. His music weaves together completely different styles, forming one grand and beautiful picture.
James was born and raised in cold and somber Ontario. From an early age, he became fascinated with music, diving into it headfirst, as if into a fairytale. Travels to strange new lands inspire him and bring forth emotions that cannot be put into words. His new single Gringo became a revelation for the listeners, for the artist himself, and for me.

At first, it seems like going to be something very melancholic, until the melody suddenly turns joyful, launching you into a world without limits, with a touch of jazz, a hint of shame, and a fear of the unknown. As they say, all genius lies in simplicity. Campbell has truly surpassed his former self and made it clear that the best things are all around us. All it takes is to believe in wonder and start feeling the world as it really is.
