‘Tunnel Vision’, the latest release by singer-songwriter and pianist Reuben James, brings together several protagonists in contemporary British soul and jazz. James, Daley and Frida Touray (of New Distance) provide vocals, while Tom Misch delivers guitar duties. All four wrote the song alongside musician Linden Jay.
James describes the song as ‘super chill, winter, cosy vibes – a love song about only having eyes for one person. Tom Misch blessed the song on guitar and Elliott Skinner on background vocals. I’m really proud of it.”
Touray kicks off the song with a dreamy vocal that sets the tone for this hypnotic mid-tempo. Skinner’s backing vocals and Misch’s guitar add an intensity to the denouement.
