James Vincent McMorrow collaborates with Rudimental on 'Be Somebody'

Following up the huge success behind his recent single 'Gone' in recent months, James Vincent McMorrow has now returned to deliver a very special collaboration.

The new single 'Be Somebody' sees the frontman team up with drum n bass juggernauts Rudimental, and was premiered on Annie Mac's Radio 1 show last night (8th March).

Speaking about the new offering, James said, “I wrote this song in 2019 with Jimmy Napes. Was the first thing we wrote. I'm a pretty abstract writer, I rarely write in a linear fashion from start to finish. Obv Jimmy is a brilliant writer and can write a million different ways, but on that particular day we just sat with a guitar and started taking a song one chord and one line at a time, and this just came out incredibly naturally. It feels a bit redundant to talk about how songs feel prescient for the particular moment we're in, honestly any songs about being unsure or emotionally lacking feel very of this moment.”

While Rudimental added, "Its been great to work with James McMorrow . He's got an incredible voice. This track is getting us excited for festival season. Let's Go!”
