James Newman To Set Eurovision Alight With 'Embers'

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) James Newman has just released his blistering new track �Embers�, this year�s UK entry to the 65th Eurovision Song Contest, which is slotted to take place in Rotterdam, Netherlands on May 22.

Released and published by BMG, in only a few hours after its first play, Metro called �Embers� �a bop� and Eurovision fans rushed to give the single their stamp of approval.

'Embers' has 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�s now loaded with some much-needed hope. The accompanying music video captures every inch of the song�s euphoria and provides the perfect backdrop for a song that is set to capture the nation.

On the single, James said, �I wanted to write an upbeat and positive song that people could have a party to. It�s about the spark between people who love each other. Just because you don�t see the people you care about all the time, doesn�t mean that spark isn�t there.�

In the wake of 2020�s postponed Eurovision contest, James released his debut EP The Things We Do in the summer and ended the year with another new collaboration with Armin Van Buuren, �Slow Lane�.

James is a Brit Award-winning and Grammy-nominated songwriter. He won a Brit for British Single of the Year (2014) for �Waiting All Night�, performed by Rudimental and Ella Eyre. He has also written hit singles �Lay It All On Me� performed by Rudimental ft Ed Sheeran and �Blame� performed by Calvin Harris ft. John Newman.
