James Newman is back and looking forward to representing the United Kingdom at this year\u2019s 65th Eurovision Song Contest, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands – May 22nd, with his blistering new track \u2018Embers\u2019, after the competition was postponed in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The first instalment, in a year that will see plenty more exciting new music from James, \u2018Embers\u2019 is a joyous concoction of explosive dance beats, blended with its gospel-inspired vocals, melodic piano lines and horn sections, coming at the right time as the perfect pick me up in a year that\u2019s now loaded with some much needed hope. The track was recorded last year, and written by and produced by Danny Shah and Connor Blake, as well as Tom Hollings and Samuel Brennan (Melanie C, Zak Abel, 220 Kid).<\/p>\n

Shot at RAF Greenham Common in Newbury, the video, directed by Charlie Lightening (Oasis, Pink, Robbie Williams<\/em>), captures every inch of the song\u2019s euphoria and provides the perfect backdrop for a song that is set to capture the nation.<\/p>\n
