James Berkeley On The Emotional Weight Of The Final Scene
UK vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer James Berkeley has released "credits roll," the penultimate single from his forthcoming EP "in between A & B." The track explores the emotional comedown of leaving a cinema as the credits fade and reality sets in, using that feeling as a metaphor for closing painful chapters and moving forward.
The song blends harmonies, jazzy piano and alternative R&B textures, and comes with a stark visualizer showing Berkeley alone in a dark theatre facing an unseen screen, tackling the "boys do cry" narrative around male emotion. Berkeley, who fronts the band Yakul and has sold out three consecutive shows at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club between 2022 and 2024, has racked up over 18 million all-time streams and previously collaborated with Incognito, Mereba and edbl.
