SHARES THE NEW SINGLE ‘LIKE WHAT I SEE’ – LISTEN HERE
HEADLINED AN INTIMATE CANDLELIGHT SHOW AT
PANCRAS OLD CHURCH LAST NIGHT
Jamie Grey excels at intimate songs infused with heartfelt feeling, his voice sparkling with unrestrained power and soul as he delivers lyrics which confront the toughest of emotions head-on. His authenticity and next door neighbour charm is attracting an ever growing audience, so far exceeding 75 million streams, and his talents have led to him co-writing one of James Arthurs’ biggest hits, ‘Falling Like The Stars’, as well as several tracks from his 2024 #1 album ‘Bitter Sweet Love’.
But now a supercharged new Jamie Grey is emerging, with recent tracks ‘Chains’ and ‘Hold Me I’m In Heaven’ showing the world-conquering star potential that he has dreamed of achieving since childhood. Now he pushes to take that evolution to a whole new audience as he shares the new single ‘Like What I See’ following a sold-out performance at St Pancras Old Church last night. Listen HERE.
While his recent singles have seen Jamie embrace a bold, pulsating new pop sound, ‘Like What I See’ sees him step into the affecting balladeering mode that’s such a natural fit for his natural vocal talent. Yet his strident new confidence sees him layer up the song into a richly textured wall-of-sound taking in cinematic strings, plaintive piano and soaring high vocal notes – a mix which brings a previously unheard grandeur and drama to the more introspective side of his artistry.
‘Like What I See’ is the latest product of Jamie’s fervent creative collaboration with producer Ben Lythe and co-writer Charlie Dempsey, the team behind ‘Chains’, ‘Hold Me I’m In Heaven’ and more essential new material that will emerge in the coming months. It was mixed by Ash Howes, whose long list of credits range from One Direction to Kylie Minogue.
Jamie says, “I wrote the song in April this year with Ben and Charlie having only met them that day. I told them I felt a change happening within me and had the title in my head. I felt for the first time I was starting to feel comfortable in my own skin and let some things go that I had let hold me back for a long time.
The song is about accepting yourself and whatever perceived flaws you think or may have been told you have. I’ve learned they’re only real if you let them be and we’re all beautifully unique in our own way.”
As the song confesses, Jamie’s outward confidence has always masked a little insecurity. But with the help of Ben and Charlie, he feels as if he has finally unlocked his full potential and that he can take his place amongst top tier, like-minded pop and soul singer-songwriters such as Ed Sheeran, Teddy Swims and Sam Smith. You can see just how much he is relishing the future from his charismatic performance in the video for ‘Hold Me I’m In Heaven’.
He has certainly battled to rise to the level that he is now at. He was raised in Redcar in the north-east of England, where he shared his mother’s love for Motown – artists with huge voices, lived-in stories delivered with conviction and a flamboyant streak – as well as influences such as Arctic Monkeys, Paolo Nutini, Kings of Leon and James Morrison.
Now having played shows with the likes of Jools Holland and Scouting For Girls, Jamie Grey’s 2025 live highlights have included a sold-out UK headline tour, a huge outdoor summer show with Rag N Bone Man, and last month’s debut headline tour of The Netherlands as well as last nights performance at London’s St. Pancras Old Church accompanied by Ben Lythe and Charlie Dempsey. Limited remaining tickets are available HERE.
