Nate James 'High Times'

This winter, Nate James embarks on a series of high profile gigs across the country, kicking off on October 12 when he joins forces with American soul/hip hop stars Musiq Soulchild & Genuwine for an incredible line-up of live talent at the Troxy in East London. A performance alongside Omar and The Lifeforce Band at the Royal Festival Hall on October 26 is followed the night after by a support slot for living legend Alexander O'Neil at The Drum in Birmingham on Oct 27th. All this before Nate headlines the Indigo O2 in Greenwich on Dec 4!

In the midst of this, Nate releases High Times on October 29, the second track to be lifted from his sophomore album, 'Kingdom Falls.' Produced by 1Xtra favourite Danny S (Britney Spears, David Bowie, Gwen Stefani), it's an uplifting feel good track that has both feet firmly on the dancefloor and is already a Top 10 club hit. Nate says: "High Times is my favourite track on the album. It's got so much energy and we get amazing reactions to it in the live sets."

No wonder Radio 1 online dubbed him 'The King of UK Soul'.

High Times blends Nate's soulful vocals around syncopated bass punches, driving synths and subtle electro stylings. Touch Magazine describe it as "a delicious slice of soul with drum & bass and house sprinkled on the top." The video was shot in London by director Rob Tucker, the concept being 'a day in the life' of our soul hero.

Nate James releases 'High Times' on Frofunk on 29 October.
