Why do we like this?

It's a beautiful talent to be able to craft gorgeous, breezy music that captures the listener's attention, and (now) Sydney based musician Patrick James has mastered it.

With two well-received EPs to his name (All About To Change in 2013 and Broken Lines last year), James has made a name for himself as a celebrated live performer with headline tours and supports for the likes of Boy and Bear and Emma Louise.

Now, a first album is on the way, and "California Song" is the perfect initial impression. A sunny pop number that highlights James' strong, emotive vocals, it's one of those tracks that transports the listener to another place.

If you're enjoying his latest single, make sure to give his previous work a listen on SoundCloud, and keep an eye out for news on the impending LP release.
