James Deacon is fast making a name for himself as one of the most exciting new faces in the local pop space and this week, the star returns with a hot new single titled ‘Reason’ showing fans a side of himself fans have yet to see.
“Reason is the first song I’ve written that details romantic love. It’s my thank you note to a very important person who was the catalyst for my decision to quit my job and become a full time musician. The chorus is a thank you to her and the verses are about how we met and how she’s helped shape the man I am today,” Deacon confesses when asked about the track’s narrative and lyrical content.
By expanding his emotional arsenal and showing a side to the young singer-songwriter that we have yet to experience, Deacon displays a range to rival his contemporary counterparts.
The singer has had an explosive start to his career and ‘Reason’ is set to continue this trajectory. After his single ‘Son Of Apollo’ was selected to soundtrack HBO’s 8-week movie promo campaign in America, follow up single ‘HERO aka Rich’ achieved a 5-week stint at #1 on 5FM’s Indie Chart, and Deacon’s work received online tastemaker support from Earmilk, Indie Shuffle and CLASH, to name but a few – this 23-year-old multi-instrumentalist is firing on all cylinders with his latest track.
