A year on from his fifth studio album, Ivor Novello award-winning singer-songwriter Jamie Lawson releases his heartfelt 5-track EP, ‘Moving Images’ on May 29th via Lookout Mountain Records. The first single \u2018She Sings For Me\u2019 is available now to stream and download here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

‘Moving Images’ is a delicate collection of songs, the majority of which were recorded by Jamie at his home studio before being mixed by Tim Ross. Speaking about the record, Jamie said,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis EP feels like a new chapter for me, the beginning of the next phase. With the need for full length albums being less and less, I suspect I\u2019ll do more of these types of releases, small collections of songs that we can hopefully tour around and keep active with.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Originally written in a panic as a present for his wife on their first anniversary after the present he had organised hadn\u2019t arrived, the opening song \u2018A Perfect Year\u2019 is a sentimental ballad with stunning string melodies and Jamie\u2019s distinctive emotive delivery. The song was never intended to feature on a record but, \u201cthe more I played it the more I liked it and thought maybe others would too\u201d he explains. It serves as a fantastic opener that\u2019s even more impressive when you consider how quickly it had to be written; Jamie recalls that his wife had \u201cnipped to Tesco the day before our anniversary\u201d and he managed to bind it together in a short time.<\/p>\n

The EP comes during a time of profound difficulty but, thanks to the international language of music, Jamie hopes that it can perhaps provide some optimism for listeners,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI think the \u2018She\u2019 in \u2018She Sings For Me\u2019 is music and how it\u2019s always there for you whatever mood you\u2019re in. It\u2019ll always give you comfort and understanding, at least that\u2019s what I was trying to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The final track on the EP \u2018Closure\u2019 was written with acclaimed songwriter\/producer Jez Ashurst. Having worked together in the past, both musicians quickly forecast the direction in which the song should go, which Jamie denotes as happening by \u201cchannelling the craftsmanship of Tom Petty\u201d. The song was quickly recorded to capture the creative magic between the two, with Jamie affirming,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhat you hear is what was recorded the day we wrote it, I didn\u2019t want to change a thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The exceptional writing on this EP makes it clear why Jamie was the first signing to Ed Sheeran\u2019s label Gingerbread Man Records. In the same year as his signing (2015), Jamie released his self-titled third album, featuring the international hit \u2018Wasn\u2019t Expecting That\u2019, which has to this day been streamed over 250 million times.<\/p>\n

In 2016 Jamie was awarded an Ivor Novello Award for \u2018Best Song Musically and Lyrically\u2019, which he followed with his fourth album in 2017 called Happy Accidents. Jamie spent the start of 2018 in Nashville further expanding his songwriting toolbox, and the remainder of the year on a stadium tour with Ed Sheeran using his downtime to write new music.<\/p>\n

When the pieces had fallen together, he bunkered down in a multitude of international recording studios including La Frette just outside Paris – which had recorded the likes of Arctic Monkeys and Nick Cave – before heading to Dublin to co-produce 2019\u2019s \u2018The Years In Between\u2019 with Ruadhri Cushnan (Mumford & Sons, Shaun Mendes, Tom Walker, Ed Sheeran).<\/p>\n

In the absence of tours, Jamie will be performing livestreamed concerts via his Instagram<\/a> page. See his socials for regular updates as to the performance timings.<\/p>\n
