Following up on previously released single “Don’t Enter Fear“, Barbarossa shares the piano-driven ballad “Thickening Air” which was inspired by the classic songwriters that James Mathé obsesses over: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Brian Wilson and Joni Mitchell. The delicate melody and vocal bring you into a music cocoon where time totally stops.

Barbarossa is the moniker of London-born artist James Mathé. Recently, the artist has become a father for the first time and moved from London. All those changes can probably be heard in his upcoming album “Lier” which will follow up to 2015’s “Imager”. The 10-track project, due out on March 30 via Memphis Industries, is set to be his most personal record to date. The majestuous first single “Don’t Enter Fear” was written on the piano in his parent’s house and perfectly captures his state of mind: don’t be afraid of changes. A message to himself that can also be applied to the unstable political world.
