Singer-songwriter Patrick James is today revealing his poignant new single, Into Your Arms, and has announced his forthcoming album, I'll Take Care Of Myself If You Take Care Of Yourself.

The track, premiering today via The Music, showcases James' ability to wear his heart on his sleeve, featuring gentle, sincere and refined songwriting from the multi-instrumentalist.  

"The song is loosely about male vulnerability and the idea of feeling your true emotional self around people you let into your life," explains James.

"We wanted the recording to be both delicate and powerful and I think the pay off with the entrance of full-band towards the end brings the song together in that intended way."

I'll Take Care Of Myself If You Take Care Of Yourself reflects a labour of love of two years for James, a ten-track journey that features an alt-pop collection of semi-autobiographical anthems. 

In his own words: "The title itself refers to the idea that in any relationship in life, the more you take care of yourself as an individual the more another person is going to mirror that and steer into a better version of themselves."
