Wire And Wood Recordings LTD, Powderfinger Promotions, and Rive Video proudly announce the release of singer/songwriter Oliver James’ second album, “What Have We Learned” and the album’s lead single, ”The More You Love, The More You Live.”
James’ rock songs combine soaring vocals, sweeping melodies, and one memorable chorus after another. Lush arrangements feature James Sampson on acoustic and electric guitars and lead vocals, accompanied by keyboardist Brett Levine the rhythm section of Rick Nash and Larry Grano, with strings arranged by Chris Howes.
The More You Love, The More You Live” with its message of positivity and hope, a driving and panoramic sing-along chorus, and stunning visuals was recognized as “Best Pop/ Rock Song” in November 2016 by the Akademia.
Oliver’s influences include some of the best known names in music history such as John Lennon, Ray Davies, David Bowie, Burt Bacharach, and Pete Townsend, and also extend to the lesser known (but equally powerful and brilliant) names like David Sylvian, Scott Walker, Jimmy Webb, and Nick Drake. ‘What Have We Learned’ is Oliver James’ second full-length album.
