CASEY JAMES’ “FALL APART” HEADS TO COUNTRY RADIO

NASHVILLE, TN –March 31, 2015-- 19 Recordings/Columbia Records’ Casey James critically-welcomed single, “Fall Apart” impacted country radio this week with 42 total first-week stations.
Written by Will Bowen, Josh Carter and Zach Carter, “Fall Apart” has already caught the attention of fans and critics, with Country Weekly noting the single as “heartbreak done with conviction and feeling….Casey makes the most of this power ballad (to the nth degree).”

Casey celebrated the release of his new single by answering fan questions on the new live video streaming app, Periscope, making him one of the first artists to use the new platform.

“Fall Apart” marks the first single off of Casey’s forthcoming sophomore album and is the follow up to the American Idol alum’s Top 15 single “Crying on a Suitcase.” Casey’s self-titled debut album entered Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart at #2, with USA Today declaring the album “worth the wait,” while Entertainment Weekly cheered that “the songs shine” thanks to “a fusion of blues and contemporary country, his subtle grit and frequent guitar solos.”

Casey James’ latest single “Fall Apart” may be his best song yet. It’s been years since we’ve seen James’ American Idol start and he’s steadily been making a name for himself. This is his third single after “Cryin’ On A Suitcase” and the steamy “Let’s Don’t Call It A Night.” By no means a happy song, this is James’ take on “getting over you after the break-up” song. He’s fine with all the pictures, the sleeping alone, the memories don’t overtake him anymore… But when he runs into her and she’s physically there, it all comes flooding back. As he puts it, “I go a little crazy, tell myself I gotta breathe, try to get my heart to beat…” The writers behind this wrenchingly honest song are Josh and Zack Carter of the duo Kingston along with Will Bowen. This is the first release for James in 2 years, after his self-titled debut album. This will be the lead single off his sophomore album whose release date is yet to be known. Though he didn’t write the ballad, he feels a personal connection to it and feels as though it has spoken about his life and years past. As many have done before, he has sought out the music that describes him and his life better than his own writing could. He writes a lot of his own music (Let’s Don’t Call It a Night) but when he finds songs that feel like him and the sound he wants to create he goes with it. (Credit to: Rolling Stone Country “Hear Casey James’ heartbreaking new single “Fall Apart”) A surefire hit for James, as a taste of what is to come from his sophomore album this bodes well for everyone involved.
