James Righton is back with his first single in over a year, "Release Party".
"Release Party" is Righton's first new outing since his 2020 single "Edie", and will feature on DEEWEE's Foundations compilation album that will mark the label's 50th release.
He describes the new song as being about "tension and release and the dreams and fantasies we make".
"Release Party" will feature on Foundations alongside new songs by Charlotte Adigéry ("Bear With Me (and I’ll stand bare before you)") and Movulango.
James Righton's "Release Party" track is out now. DEEWEE's Foundations compilation album will be released tomorrow (7 May), and is available to pre-order now.
