For James Gittins, being funky is a natural ability. Hailing from Birmingham, the talented producer and songwriter has been championing a groovy, bright outlook on pop and disco music, blending modern features and throwback elements with witty and engaging formulas. Following up from ‘That Funky’, Gittins now releases another banger, ‘What You Want’, featuring BRIT School alumni Sophie Naglik.
In true James Gittins style, the track is mostly focused on its hypnotising grooves, providing the perfect soundtrack to a bubbly and exciting time on the dancefloor. Naglik brings evocative and mesmerising vocals to the table, really making the record stand out from James’ previous catalogue.
Receiving support from the likes of BBC Introducing and RTÉ, the Birmingham resident is slowly creating a name for himself, thanks to nuanced production abilities and powerful writing prowess. Gearing up for an EP release in the near future, ‘What You Want’ is the perfect appetizer, light, smooth yet lively, simple yet refined. Introduced by a vintage percussion loop, the track navigates a sort of start-and-stop structure, reinforced by guitar riffing and horns stabs. The result is an irresistible banger, which we are confident will go a long way in bringing James Gittings’ music to a wider audience.
