“Unquestionably one of the most captivating new voices in contemporary dark pop,” Eva James emerges with a voice that embodies both complexity and strength. With lyrics that delve into mental health, anxiety, chronic illness, and the labyrinth of toxic relationships, Eva wields her songs as both confession and catharsis. In 2023, Eva’s magnetic presence mesmerized audiences as she won the Gloucester 400th Anniversary Singer-Songwriter Challenge, solidifying her place as an artist to watch. That same year, she traveled to New York to collaborate with Grammy-winning artist Paula Cole, beginning the recording of her debut album. Most recently, Eva was awarded the 2025 Eastern Front Songwriter Grant from Club Passim.

Released in February 2025, her debut single “Something New” quickly garnered attention, earning praise for its haunting melodies and raw, evocative lyricism. The track has been featured in several press outlets, highlighting Eva’s emotionally charged storytelling & fearless artistry. In May 2025, she followed with “The One You Lose,” a devastatingly intimate ballad that explores the lingering ache of unreciprocated love. Her most recent single, “You’re The Worst,” released in July 2025, marks a fiery turn — darkly anthemic & unapologetically honest, the track showcases her ability to transform personal pain into an empowered battle cry.

With a growing audience and an undeniable presence, Eva James continues to carve out a space uniquely her own, captivating listeners one song at a time.
