(January 2008) - The hit-songwriter and award-winning recording artist Eden James, boasts an impressive international solo career - yet with a new album, comes a new era. His recent shift in style and direction has prompted the musician to trade in his solo artist spurs in favour of an indie-rock band baring his name. It was the ring to Eden’s name and his reputation in the industry that convinced fellow band members Richard Murray, Matt James, Simon Hall and Simon Turner not to rename the group but continue with the well-known brand of Eden James. September 2007 saw the band celebrate the launch of Electric Charge, an album built on old-school musical landscapes and timeless songwriting. Eden co-produced the album with Antti Uusimaki (Brian Eno, Cornershop) whose avant-garde style complemented Eden's pop appreciation. “Together we achieved what we wanted. A pop record dressed in classic rock and indie stylings. If you think somewhere between Lou Reed's Transformer and Bowie's Ziggy Stardust you'll get the idea,” said James. The lyrics create haunting images and the music is confident, brash and sharp. 'Hung so dry like a cigarette from her mouth, the flame goes out, invisible'. 'Sweetness drips from our lips, but when the heartache hits, no one applauds'. The album reveals a battlefield of love, scattered with wounded souls and cold hearts. Along with the brilliant new album the band have produced and released a video for the record’s first single Hurt Me (requested by MTV and submitted for UK and European broadcast). The video can be viewed on YouTube and MySpace.com/EdenJames. Since the album's release Eden James have been performing in packed London venues including the famed Carling Academy Islington. Electric Charge has been digitally released worldwide by the band's own label EJE and is available from iTunes, Amazon, Napster, and Rhapsody to name a few.
