He tells us about 'The Night We Nearly Threw It All Away': "Our song is about an unconditional love you have for someone, but it's on the rocks because you gave it up. When you get a taste of true love, you can't take it for granted - because nothing else will suffice."

Tender tones of ambivalence inspired by love are carried along on Marcus James' latest release. Striking that sweet spot of "emo house" that the producer has managed to mark as his own 'The Night We Nearly Threw It All Away' is an honest, bass-driven track. Showcasing the complex nature of love with MNYS providing the sombre vocals with shimmering electronic touches and lyrics that will burn their way into your soul.

Marcus James tells us about his latest single: "There's a certain time of night, usually around 1-3am, if you find yourself unable to sleep the thoughts you've pushed aside all day come to the surface. This song reminds me of those moments spent wondering if something from your past could have gone differently, and wondering if someone else is out there thinking the same thing."
