The Haunted is out now!
James' new single 'The Haunted' is a collection of thoughts on how today’s ever-changing world of social media creates a false and damaging perception of the lives around us. Many of us find ourselves feeling envy at what we see through the lens of our friends’ social media presence, only to learn much later about the suffering behind the smiles. In some cases, far too late.
The video (directed and produced by Jason Marshall of I am eye productions) is inspired by the life of James’ friend who tragically took his own life last year. It celebrates his incredibly colourful and vivacious character; his love for music, art, films from the highest arthouse to the most popular of pop culture. It's aesthetics take inspiration from the paintings of Edward Hopper, specifically the clown in ‘Soir Bleu’ and the scene from ‘New York Apartment.’

"The entire song is put together beautifully, with each element combining forces to create a masterpiece of emotional expression....Within the words lies a powerful wisdom and spectacular message about not believing everything we see and hear on social media." - Music Talkers
"It’s a very thought-provoking piece when you combine the music, lyrics and video elements" - Reyt Good Magazine
"The track itself has a gorgeous melody, the piano is hella hella clean, the drums are slamming good, Parkinson’s vocals are powerful, soaring and rich, the man plays a damn mean guitar and the sentiment behind the song is something we should all be paying more attention to."- Leo Sigh Reviews
"One Cure For Man tells a sad tale of modern life in ‘The Haunted’ using a combination of bitter melodies, provoking lyrics and stirring vocals. The falsettos throughout the track give you goosebumps and drive home the message of the song." - The Other Side Reviews
"Ever thought-provoking and always compelling, One Cure for Man is a unique artist. We thoroughly enjoyed ‘The Haunted’" - FV Music Blog
