Adam James looks back on the past in single, "Sleep At Night"
Celebrating its official release on July 9th, 2021, Adam James has left us with our jaws on the ground with his newest single, “Sleep At Night”. Please read along for our complete look at this new track, as well as a background on the artist.
Leading up to his California-inspired album, singer and songwriter Adam James has delivered a heartfelt and instrumentally diverse single titled “Sleep At Night”. For this independent and alternative artist, this is his first single release of the year, but we can already tell that big and bold things are on the way. Without skipping a beat, we can already recommend a listen and a follow to everything Adam James.
What originally came to the artist in the midst of a dream, eventually turned into an atmospherically sound song that is legitimately the perfect leadoff to a debut album. According to Adam, listeners across the globe can expect “vulnerability, raw lyricism, and intensely danceable beats” showing themselves across the debut. If “Sleep At Night” is the introduction, then consider us strapped in and ready for more.
On the background of the song, the artist is taking a look back on his time living in Brooklyn before his major move to Los Angeles. “Sleep at Night” is an anthem about holding onto your dreams”, says the singer-songwriter, “It's basically a commentary on what was going on in NYC at the time and looking back on how far I've come and what lies ahead.”
At just a tad under four minutes in total runtime, there’s certainly a lot going on in terms of genre influence and background sounds. Genre-wise, we’d lump it under a bit of rock, folk, and indie alternative, however there’s still so much originality that you can hear within, it almost transcends that all and became its own thing. However you’d like to label it, it’s a seriously memorable tune that we know we’ll be going back to frequently before the next single sees the light of day.
With all that being said though, celebrate release day with us and Adam and hop into a listen of “Sleep At Night” as soon as you’re finished reading this. It’s a remarkable insight into an artist that we can’t wait to follow as he continues to release greatness. All the important links to listen and follow along can be found below, enjoy!
