James Vincent McMorrow, We Move ยฉ Mahogany Books / Burning RopeIrish singer/songwriter James Vincent McMorrow outdoes himself on โ€œGet Low,โ€ one of the promo singles for forthcoming album, โ€˜We Move.โ€™

33-year old Irish alternative singer/songwriter James Vincent McMorrow returns with his third studio album, We Move.ย  We Move is headed by single โ€œGet Low.โ€ Non-traditional, โ€œGet Lowโ€ promotes We Move with a bang, truly building excitement for the album.

ย โ€œGet Lowโ€ opens with a soulful, urban-pop oriented intro. Guitar truly triggers this sensibility. It incorporates a modern bag of tricks including vocal effects and hip-hop drum programming. 808s in a singer/songwriter song? Quite unique to say the least.

McMorrow delivers simply beautiful, expressive vocals.ย  His tone is stunning. His vocals are never inhibited by the production work; heโ€™s always the forefront.ย  Additionally, the songwriting is memorable, and โ€œGet Lowโ€ is anchored by a catchy hook.


Final Thoughtsย 

Overall, โ€œGet Lowโ€ is exceptional.ย  It features a beautiful vocal performance by McMorrow. The production work is exceptional, soundly combining alternative, singer/songwriter, and urban styles.ย  All in all, itโ€™s well-written song with respectable lyrics and โ€œearโ€ candy in regards to the palette of sounds.
