CMU Approved
Approved: Barbarossa
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 31 May 2017
Barbarossa, aka musician James Mathé, has just released new single ‘Griptide’. The release coincides with the use of the song on the season finale of US TV show ‘Elementary’, and is the first to be taken from his still-in-production new album.
The song sees Mathé moving back away from the more electronic sound of 2015 album ‘Imager’, towards something with more of a classic singer-songwriter feel. Crafted with producer Ghost Culture, the slow waltz of ‘Griptide’ is given a spontaneous, intimate feel, reflected in the song’s lyrics. Listening to it feels like you’ve stepped into a low-lit room, where your presence hasn’t yet been noticed.
Look out for more music, and news of the new album, in due course. For now, listen to ‘Griptide’ here.
