James McLeod Shares New Single ‘Parkdale’

Canadian singer and songwriter James McLeod has just shared his brand new single Parkdale, the lead single of his upcoming debut album, Is This How Memories Work?, set to arrive on March 29th!
 
Parkdale is a relatable song about leaning into our vices even when they no longer serve us, merely because it's convenient to. I am really enjoying the tone of James McLeod's voice which are packed with raw emotion, instantly drawing my attention to his storytelling. The whole production is beautifully polished and seamlessly blends elements of lofi, bedroom pop and indie into a memorable and enthralling listening experience. I am particularly fond of the piano chords that stand out from the cool guitar riffs and steady beat. Parkdale's warm, laid-back atmosphere is perfect for those introspective days home alone and you can check it out below!

 

 

Speaking about the song, James McLeod said,
All of the seemingly friendly strangers I’d met in my 20s, on closer reflection, more resembled monsters in my 30s. ‘Parkdale’ is about leaning into your vices even when they no longer serve you merely because it’s convenient to.
