Listen "Gavin James - Irish Artist Of The Week"
Episode Synopsis
Irish singer-songwriter Gavin James returns with his highly anticipated fourth studio album, Goldrush, was released on 19th September. The 13-track record is structured in two distinct halves, divided by an interlude: one brimming with upbeat, high-energy anthems, and the other showcasing a more intimate and vulnerable side.
Speaking about the new project, Gavin says:
“This album has been two years in the making, and it’s the first time I’ve fully thrown myself into the production side of things — which was an amazing learning curve. The opening track, Goldrush, felt like the start of something new I’d been searching for. The record has all the bells and whistles I love as a producer, but also the raw, imperfect moments that make it feel truly human.”
Since bursting onto the scene in 2015 with his debut album Bitter Pill — featuring hits such as The Book of Love and Nervous — Gavin James has established himself as one of Ireland’s most successful musical exports. His 2018 album Only Ticket Home produced the multi-platinum single Always, which went diamond in Brazil, while his collaboration with Alan Walker on Tired has surpassed 270 million Spotify streams. His 2022 release The Sweetest Part further cemented his reputation as a world-class artist.
Across his career, Gavin James has amassed over 2.5 billion global streams, toured with Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, and Niall Horan, and headlined sold-out shows worldwide.
