It captures a refreshing feeling; an exciting and joyous energy, and is the MOST fun. I can&#8217;t wait for everyone to hear it!<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT DAVID JAMES: Following his 2014 signing with MDM Recordings Inc., David James has consistently delivered. The 2016 release of his debut EP Songs About A Girl&#8221; garnered the Manitoba native two CCMA Award nominations including a nod in the &#8216;Rising Star&#8217; category, his debut performance at the highly celebrated Boots and Hearts Music Festival, and a Canadian Radio Music Award nomination for &#8216;Best New Group or Solo Artist: Country&#8217;. His 2017 sophomore album Downtown Kids, spawned James&#8217; first and second Top 15 hits and most successful singles to date with &#8216;Sun Set On It&#8217; and the title-track earworm, and he was nominated for four Manitoba Country Music Association Awards including &#8216;Male Artist of the Year&#8217;. In 2018, James dropped &#8216;Cars, Girls, &amp; The Radio&#8217; and hit the road in 2019 as the featured guest on Aaron Pritchett&#8217;s &#8220;Out On The Town&#8221; tour, stopping in over 50 cities across Canada before wrapping in the fall of that same year. &#8216;All The Time&#8217;, released in the summer of 2019 became James&#8217; fastest climbing song at radio to date, boasting over 2.2 million collective streams. The companion video debuted on CMT in the U.S. as part of their &#8216;Next Up Now Program&#8217;, and later that year James was awarded &#8216;Male Artist of the Year&#8221; at the MCMA Awards. His EP If I Were You was delivered in spring 2020 and in September, he partnered with Genevieve Fisher to reimagine the track &#8216;Then There&#8217;s You&#8217;, transforming his solo recording into a smooth duet that highlights both artists&#8217; sparkling vocals. James has spent the last few months working on new music, set to kick-off the next chapter of his career with the April release of &#8216;Don&#8217;t Mind If I Do&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian country artist David James unveils his first release of the year with &#8216;Don&#8217;t Mind If I Do&#8217;, available today via MDM Recordings Inc.\/ABC MUSIC.
