Canadian singer Ryland James has been setting hearts aflutter with spirited and stirring pop music since his late-2010s debut, borrowing from the uplifting vibes of contemporary gospel to put a transcendent touch on his songs. You can hear it in the choir-backed, handclap-heavy choruses of “Water”, and in the dramatic, slow-burning builds of “In My Head”. He makes secular love feel downright spiritual in the soft, piano-driven soul of “Good to You”, and takes his sound to celebratory heights with the dance-floor beats of “Save Me”, a high-energy collab with DJ Shaun Frank.
