Rising star and platinum selling artist Ryland James released his debut self-titled EP today via EMI Records UK. Ryland also revealed the music video for his new single Water, which is sure to make you want to hold onto summer all year long. Watch the official music video for Water, below.

Of the track Water, Ryland says: 

“This song is one of my favourites to perform live and one that a lot of my fans have been patiently waiting for. I wrote it on my first trip to LA and got to create the video close to home so it has a lot of exciting and sentimental value attached to it.”

The new EP is made up of 7-tracks that are filled with the artist’s signature voice exuding a bold balance of passion, panache, and power, coursing through a fusion of gospel roots, gritty soul, and anthemic pop straight from the heart.

“I love to stand at the front of the stage and just sing,” Ryland shares. “There are no bells or whistles about it. It’s simple in that respect; I love being a singer. I want to continue to develop my voice as it really defines my artistry at the core.”

This release is a milestone moment for the 21-year-old artist from Deseronto, Ontario, following a year of immense growth and success. Ryland capped his momentous 2019 by completing a North American tour with fellow Canadian Alessia Cara. After returning from the road where he played to crowds of over 20,000 fans, Ryland released his first hit single In My Head which achieved incredible successes including GOLD certification in Canada in less than 6 months and is now certified Platinum, an impressive feat for a newcomer.

The self-titled EP follows Ryland’s recent releases including, Better OffShoulder To Cry On, and the platinum certified smash hit In My Head.
