Indie singer-songwriter success-story, Jamie Webster releases his latest, deeply-felt, proudly-sung anthemic single, Sing Your Tears to praise the courage it takes for anyone to talk and share their pain when life feels tough. A new festival field-filler swelled with compassion and real-world experience, the song’s sensitivities are matched by smile-wide, upbeat melodies to celebrate the essential, simple joys of throwing arms around each other and singing the roof loose.
Looking deeper into 2024 and the momentous peaks of not only a 40,000-capacity homecomingshow at Liverpool’s Sefton Park this summer, but the imminent release of his third studio album, 10 For The People, released on Fri 2 February 2024 on Modern Sky, observers could forgive Webster for just concentrating on what’s happening on his own doorstep. Yet, the impassioned singer-songwriter’s motivations clearly remain telling stories of resilience, resistance and compassion, documenting the lives of people he meets along the way.
Growing as a musician in full public view, Sing Your Tears, recorded with renowned producer, Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Kylie Minogue), matches the consistency in Webster’s motivations with bolder and braver adventures in sound and songcraft.
Webster says: “’Sing Your Tears’ is a song about raising awareness to speak up if you’re feeling down. In this song the word ‘sing’ is sometimes used as a metaphor for talking and speaking out. But at the same time, sometimes singing itself just makes you feel better and lifts your mood. The “da da da da’s” are a symbol of everyone coming together to sing their tears away”
