London, Harris Adams is a songwriter who revels in blending the old with the new. Marrying the soulful sounds of Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles and the 60s mod vibes with the contemporary spirit of Aloe Blacc, Raphael Saadiq and Amy Winehouse, his is a unique mix of retro and modern which is beginning to beguile and turn heads wherever he goes.
Having already supported Curtis Stigers and received rave reviews at live shows from the likes of Rod Stewart, Keifer Sutherland and Johnny Depp, this is clearly an artist who knows how to make an impression.
The debut single does just that, by harking back to Ray Charles classics where he would ‘call and respond’ to his backing vocalists The Raylettes. It’s a classic trope that adds a fresh dynamic to a track, giving it a real sense of fun. The focus from Harris was to ‘keep things simple, relying on a strong catchy melody to carry the song’. It’s ambition well realised in the track, all preceded by a swinging opening riff to set the tone:
“We love supporting new talent and Harris Adams has it in abundance” – MarkMeets
“Harris Adams is a new talent who is hot on my radar” – Music journalist Mark Boardman
