It was inspired by a friend who lost his &#8216;fire proof&#8217; home and had to flee for his life to the beaches and a recurring vision Tim had last year of earthquakes and fires in California &#8211; a vision which resulted in his family packing up and leaving the Canyon. \u2018That life we left behind, we\u2019re racing down to those beautiful beaches\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe love how this song is so uplifting, focusing on new beginnings,\u201d<\/em> Tim says. <em>\u201cI like the idea that many might not know the backstory and hear it as a post Covid holiday song! Praying that the lyrics don\u2019t turn out prophetic.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Beautiful Beaches<\/em> follows the title track and first single <em><a href=\"https:\/\/james.lnk.to\/ATCOYSo\/Youtube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">All The Colours Of You<\/a><\/em>, released last month. It too is a personal account, tackling the Trump based Covid year and civil rights struggle head on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More about James + \u2018All The Colours Of You\u2019<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>James\u2019 sixteenth studio album, \u2018All The Colours Of You\u2019 was recorded in part before the Covid pandemic struck and is produced by the Grammy award-winning Jacknife<strong> <\/strong>Lee (U2, REM, Snow Patrol, The Killers). Matching the energy of the lyrics, Lee brought a fresh approach to James\u2019 sound, working remotely from his studio with Booth (Lee\u2019s Topanga Canyon neighbor) and liaising in a daisy chain with fellow band member Jim Glennie, reimagining their demos, and capturing the band in all their virtual glory.&nbsp;The result is a record with the most fresh and festival ready tracks of their 39-year career, the sound of one of Britain\u2019s best bands, deconstructed and reassembled by one of the world\u2019s most renowned producers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since their breakthrough single in 1991, <em>Sit Down<\/em>, James have released fifteen studio albums, selling over 25 million<strong> <\/strong>copies in the process, and performed countless headline shows and festivals across the world. Many in the US will know James from their 1993 hit <em>Laid<\/em> which charted on the Billboard Hot 100, was featured as the theme song to the American Pie movies and has appeared numerous times in film and tv over the years. They continue to be a huge live draw, having sold 60,000 tickets for a UK arena tour scheduled for this November and December; a tour which has sold faster than any previous James tour. Their last US tour dates were a 2019 sold out, national run of shows with the Psychedelic Furs. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>UK alternative band James have shared a brand-new track which is lifted from their forthcoming album \u2018All The Colours Of You\u2019.
