The simplicity of a song – what more could you want? Nothing better than an honest, authentic and wholesome piece to glow your solitary evenings. James Spencer knows it well. Emerging from North Devon, the British talent champions a relatable and poignant folk aesthetic, crafting friendly songs with an eclectic arrangement. Following up on previous album ‘Lucky Man’, Spencer now returns with latest single ‘My Hand & My Heart’, a bundle of hope, resilience and comfort, which we are confident will connect to a large audience out there.
A proficient performer, Spencer doesn’t shy away from packing his records with Celtic fiddles, acoustic guitars and mandolins. Starting with a rather intimate mood, the song soon explodes into full band shenanigans, featuring anthemic vocals and chant-like harmonies.
Describing the inspiration behind such meaningful lyricism, Spencer explains: “The song is a plea to those suffering within their own minds to come back to the light. Following the pandemic, the lockdowns and the mental health issues that have arisen from them, I feel that being there for your friends is more important now than ever.”
