Music artist James Vickery is out with their new single ‘Pressure feat. SG Lewis‘ from the new EP album ‘Overture‘.
Ahead of the release of his highly anticipated EP ‘Overture’ on March 25th, rising British R&B James Vickery is thrilled to unveil the music video to his single “Pressure” (with SG Lewis) exclusively on Complex. The track premiered on Jamz Supernova’s BBC Radio 1Xtra show late last year, it went on to be featured on BBC Introducing Mixtape of The Year 2019 and picked up 15 Spotify New Music Friday placements amongst many others. ‘Pressure’ has already amassed over 5 million streams online.
The director Cameron Turnbull says,
“The track had already been out and doing well for a while so it was important for me to try and match the energy and impact that the audience were expecting. It was a great video to create; we smashed through loads of set-ups in the studio over one day, but I think the high energy from that is ultimately reflected in the cut. As with most of my videos we tend to be quite ambitious with what we’ve got, with a lot of DIY solutions involved, they’ve miraculously worked so far and I think attacking them ambitiously is a lot more fun”.
South London’s James Vickery is the new face of UK R&B. With his COLORS video catching the attention of 17 million people in the first year as well as his partners of TH3RD BRAIN and Roc Nation.
