"Give Love" is the latest single from Quebecois balladeer and multi-instrumentalist James Forest, which comes from his excellent full-length release "All Shades of Purple." With a beautiful and intimate vocal presence Forest explores love in all its myriad forms, carrying the listener on a wave of sweetness to a place beyond space and time.

With a simple message to fill our hearts with song, James delivers a soothing musical experience that feels both unbounded and timeless. Mixing an acoustic guitar with assorted electronic elements of keyboard and synthesizer — along with a vocal tone that exudes tranquility — this powerful collection of songs extends a stylistic legacy that is rooted in his experience with cinematic composition. His thirst for new experiences often pushes him to travel throughout the world to places like India, Pakistan, and Europe, where he lives for extended periods as he searches for the perfect words, sounds, and moods to accompany his productions.

Far from the city
Somewhere on the coast
Slowly dancing with your ghost
In deepest blue
When you're holding on
To something that you can't control
It's getting hard to give love
