After capping off a sensational 2022 with his beautifully heartfelt offerings ‘The Reason’ and the award winning Kojey Radical collaboration ‘With U’ which won ‘Collaboration Of The Year’ at the inaugural State of R&B Awards this weekend (other winners included FLO, Mahalia, Ella Mai and Jvck James), British R&B sensation James Vickery releases the tender new single ‘(I Get So) Emotional’ on February 3rd.

‘(I Get So) Emotional’, sees him delve deep into his personal influences and reemerge with one of his most romantically-charged releases to date. Harnessing the sweet and alluring direction of 90s-era R&B, he is looking to deliver a retrospective approach to his sound; something that feels familiar but is distinctive James Vickery throughout.

Adding about ‘(I Get So) Emotional’, “It’s probably the most ambitious song I’ve ever made. I’ve really admired how people like Silk Sonic for example were able to make an almost completely nostalgic song and make it relevant. I believe my brief for making the track was Boyz II Men but more cheesy. I really committed and did my education on this period of music- I’m delighted with the outcome.”

Alongside the release he announces the details behind his new EP ‘Sheet Music’ set for release on March 3rd, his first new release since 2021’s spellbinding debut album 'Songs That Made Me Feel'. The new EP see's James Vickery collaborating a wealth of world-class producers including Jordon Manswell (Daniel Caesar), Fred Cox (Rag'n'Bone Man, Raye, Anne-Marie, Wretch 32), George Moore (Stormzy, NAO, Snoh Allegra, YEBBA), Maths Time Joy (Mahalia, FLO, NAO), and CVRE (Justin Bieber, Don Toliver).
