The new album will be James' first since releasing a self-titled album as Whatever the Weather in April, and reimagines and responds to the works of the late Julius Eastman.
On 2 October, James will play select songs from the new album for a special llive performance with the London Contemporary Orchestra at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre. Tickets are on sale now from southbankcentre.co.uk.
