I guess I just have to come to the conclusion that James isn’t my cup of tea. I like a couple of the main songs but as a whole, I can take or leave the albums. James was the choice this week after the drummer’s daughter appeared on Welcome to Wrexham - very random connection there. So good to tick this one off the list and all I can do now is prepare for many future disagreements with Mr C over the band.

I knew nothing about James except for two random songs, so this was a refreshing experience. Great album, the songs are all quite gentle pop and with that iconic voice, there’s a familiarity throughout the album (although it goes a bit wonky in the middle), making it fab for a comfort listen or as background music.
