Following on from the success of his debut album last year, James Vickery has returned with his new single, “The Reason”. Highlighting his signature buttery smooth vocals, the track hears the UK R&B artist showing his appreciation for a significant other.
Produced by Fred Cox (Rag'n'Bone Man, Mabel, RAYE), it’s another impressive laidback slow jam from James in a similar vein to previous releases such as “Until Morning”. Speaking further on “The Reason”, James says, “After my album I was trying desperately to find something that made me feel something the way a lot of those songs did.
“I had an idea to recreate some of the most (in my opinion) romantic songs of all time. I can’t lie, 'Wonderful Tonight' by Eric Clapton and 'Movie' by Tom Misch were big inspirations for me. And with this bedroom soul/R&B sound I had to draw inspiration from the greatest to have done it, D’Angelo. 'The Reason' is about that stage with someone where it’s now become more than love that nothing else matters anymore.”
“The Reason” is available to stream now.

UK artist James Vickery is gearing up to unveil his first project since the release of his debut album, Songs That Made Me Feel, back in 2021. The new EP, Sheet Music, is set for release on 3rd March, and James has given a teaser of what to expect in the form of brand-new single “(I Get So) Emotional”.
Featuring what has become his signature soulful R&B sound with ‘90s influences and gritty vocals, “(I Get So) Emotional” whets the appetite for what’s to come on the rest of the project.
Speaking about the track, James says, “It’s probably the most ambitious song I’ve ever made. I’ve really admired how people like Silk Sonic for example were able to make an almost completely nostalgic song and make it relevant. I believe my brief for making the track was Boyz II Men but more cheesy. I really committed and did my education on this period of music – I’m delighted with the outcome.”
“(I Get So) Emotional” is available to stream now.
