Sydney based singer-songwriter Patrick James makes a welcome return this week with the release of his new single “Lay It Down”.

The track sees a departure from Patrick James’ usual folk-pop songs and instead embraces a bombastic, 80s sound reminiscent of Phil Collins era Genesis. This is our first taste of new Patrick James music since his 2015 album Outlier.

“Throughout the entire writing and recording of the song I didn’t pick up the acoustic guitar once, which was strange at first but ultimately gave a new feel and vibe to the music. It’s bigger and bolder,” Patrick James explained.
