JAMES DELANEY GREEN

‘Green’ is the latest release from indie dance producer James Delaney. The track comes from his upcoming debut project Dissipate and shows the artist to be a mature songwriter capable of dropping powerful tracks. Thick synths are employed to their highest standards, with laid back rhythms showing how the influence of jazz can blend seamlessly into a dance track. Intricate layers of almost avant-garde sound fill out the texture and bring the tune to a higher level. Lyrically, Delaney explains: “Green is about being awed and shaken by a sexually powerful woman. It was the first song I came up with upon moving to LA, and I wrote it as an extended metaphor about feeling naive and inexperienced in the daunting glow of Hollywood”. Be on the lookout for the November 5th release of Dissipate. - Dan Peeke
