James Everett – Can’t Take The World
“The well-known James Everett has followed a different path with this production, leaving back the Cinematic sound in which we were used to. Balanced Chamber Pop, packed with strong feelings and the artist's personal touch. Thumbs up for the heartwarming vocals and artistic clip too.”
