Platinum-certified, two-time JUNO Award-nominated artist Ryland Jamesis set to captivate listeners once again with his deeply personal and emotionally charged new single, “The Reason,” released today via 21 Entertainment Group.
After years of releasing music and performing to sold-out crowds, Ryland has undergone a transformative journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening, reflected powerfully in his latest work. With a soulful voice that has resonated across the globe, Ryland’s artistry delves deeper than ever before, embracing themes of vulnerability, trust, and courage.
“This new music is about the vulnerability, trust, and courage it’s taken to face the awakening of my true self in the past few years,” says Ryland. “After multiple back-to-back life-altering events, I spent a lot of time in my own space contemplating, searching, and questioning harder than I’ve ever questioned before. This chapter of my life was in some ways the most challenging period, but in the end, it was also the most rewarding. I’ve never felt so clear about who I am and the true nature of my purpose in this world.”
Ryland’s distinctive voice first captured hearts with the breakout hit “In My Head” in 2019, which soared to #1 on Shazam Canada’s Top 200 chart and earned platinum certification. His journey has taken him to stages supporting multiplatinum superstar Alessia Cara on a sold-out North American tour, as well as performances at major festivals including Life Is Beautiful.
Now, with “The Reason,” Ryland embarks on a new era of music that reflects his renewed clarity and focus. The song’s heartfelt lyrics and soulful delivery serve as a beacon of hope and love, aiming to connect with listeners on a profound level.
“The Reason” is my universal love song. It has such a classic feel and lyrically speaks to so many people in so many different situations. It really is just all about love being the reason for living. Everything always comes back around to it and always will. So why not sing about it over and over again?”, Ryland shares.
“The Reason” marks the beginning of what promises to be a pivotal year for Ryland James as he continues to inspire fans with his authenticity, artistry, and undeniable talent.
