“We are all fortunate to have Jay’s voice, his words, and his melodies.” – Booker T Jones


Never one to do things by the book, singer songwriter, Jay James Picton has embarked on a unique way of delivering his music to the masses. 

Having recently signed to Decca/Universal and working with the likes of John Legend and Booker T for his forthcoming debut album, Jay James Picton is making his mark both here in the UK and State side. Pulling influences from across the board, his raw vocals and blues infused ballads along with a contagious personality create a truly inspiring sound.

Heads Vs. Hearts is a short three part MUSIC Film series created by Artist & Songwriter Jay James Picton. The series is based around four self-penned songs "Battle Call, Long May They Roll, Heads Vs. Hearts Ft Booker T Jones (Booker T & The MGs)” and additional track "Another Man" which concludes the film. Jay James confesses to see and visualise storyboards and experiences in his head whilst song writing. The film expresses an interesting yet creative visual aid with no script to play out a narrative where "the music tells the story". 

The film depicts scenes roughly based and written around true events. Its plays out the different emotions, experiences and feelings expressed in a one sided love.

"When you’re in a one sided relationship, the emotions you feel are often clouded and mixed up with paranoia and a like attraction (heads vs. hearts), even though you know you'd be better off without that person, the constant battle with them and your own mind to make it work often sets off other emotions (Battle Call). The feelings once lost of preferring all that shit over nothing at all (Long May They Roll)".

Jay has recently returned from America working on his debut record ‘Play It by Heart’ set for release in early 2012

Jay James both wrote and co-directed the Film series with Dave Wilson (Frank Ocean, Atmosphere, Brother Ali).
