Aiden James (screen capture)Well-known for his acoustic live performances, out recording artist Aiden James releases a new, acoustic version of his hit single “Arms Length” alongside a stunning 4K Music Video.
This new acoustic version was inspired by an exchange with a fan during his “JUMP Tour” last year.
From Aiden’s official website:
“I’ll never forget this one night after a show. A man came up to the merch table and reached out to embrace me. He held both my hands and said hearing me live was an experience he’ll never forget. He told me that while he loved my recordings, my live acoustic performance was so personal and showcased my talents.
“I took this to heart, and I knew I had to create a version like this. After all, some of my favorite artists’ recordings are acoustic or live now that I think about it: Gavin DeGraw, Sia, Brett Young, Patty Griffin, Sara Bareilles, Ed Sheeran.”
Soooooo good. The heartfelt lyrics are center stage here, and the production puts a laser focus on the impeccable songwriting. Aiden’s evocative vocals serve up a tender exploration of raw, yearning emotion.
I covered the release of Aiden’s original synth-pop version of “Arms Length” last August here. I’ve been covering Aiden’s music since 2018 when I first encountered his pop hit “Colorblind.”
The new, acoustic version of “Arms Length” is available on all major music platforms. Follow Aiden on Instagram here.
