UK’s Born Music featured the new single and music video Fiend from Elliot James. The music video directed by Joseph Mercado originally premiered on AppleMusic.

This is singer-songwriter music taken to it’s most minimal extreme. A song that is made up of few constituent parts (synth pad, acoustic guitar and vocals), the song is almost mist like, having an almost air like quality. Like sitting on a cloud, ‘Fiend’ is sensual, beautiful, and at times quite harrowing.

Elliot James here has proved himself to be a masterful songwriter. Quite like Frank Ocean’s ‘Blond(e)’, James has chosen the ‘less is more’ approach on this latest single, and that choice is a huge success.

The accompanying music video is also understated. Starring Natalie Eleftheriadis, this one shot video is emotional and quite heartbreaking. Eleftheriadis emotion is palpable, and gives the song an added kick of soul and feeling. – excerpt from Born Music review

Following the tragic death of hip-hop artist Lil Peep on Nov. 16 as the result of a drug overdose, former addict and rapper Kosha Dillz — aka Rami Even-Esh — took to Variety to reflect on how the late young rapper could have benefitted from the now-shuttering Warped Tour and the life-saving addiction recovery resources MusiCares provides each year on the tour.

“MusiCares’ presence at music events around the country, including Warped Tour, other festivals and awards shows, among many other events, has made a significant impact on the wellness of the music community, whether its musicians who are just beginning their journey to sobriety or, for those like Kosha Dillz, who now have many years of sobriety to their name.” – Recording Academy
