UK singer-songwriter Dylan James has announced his latest EP, Warriors In Disguise, due out in spring 2027, and shared the first single, “Say Nothing,” released October 23.
“Say Nothing” is one of the EP’s heaviest moments, where distorted '70s rock guitars collide with pounding drums and a gritty vocal, creating an anthem for a generation trying to communicate through acronyms, algorithms and instant dopamine.
The EP grew out of Dylan's own search for meaning. After years of building businesses, leading teams and chasing success, he began to question what success really means, and what sits beneath achievement, identity and ego. The record explores the tension between the part of us that fights, protects and achieves, and the part that loves, creates and allows itself to be vulnerable.
Dylan: "I believe the things we go through as children keep shaping who we become, and that understanding our shadows is far more valuable than hiding from them. I used to think strength and vulnerability were opposites, but they can live in the same person. And I've learned that external success doesn't automatically bring you any peace inside. I don't claim to have the answers. My beliefs are still evolving and so am I, and these songs are simply a record of where I am along the way."
Raw and tender in equal measure, Warriors In Disguise is an EP about masculinity, fatherhood, identity and love.
Bristol-born Dylan James is a singer-songwriter, father, husband and entrepreneur who writes from somewhere deep within himself, a place bigger than words. For the best part of a decade he quietly perfected his craft, building a following through rare home demos. One devotee, Noah and the Whale's Matt Owens, was so struck by the songs that he produced James's debut album, Expected To Fly (2023).
James chronicles the home truths of modern life, from drunken failings and broken dreams to battle-hardened parental commitment. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and that openness has become his greatest strength, leaving listeners with something increasingly rare: hope, in a world that often has more questions than answers.
Dylan’s full EP will follow next year and full live dates will be announced soon. In the meantime, Dylan plays a free gig on November 10 at Gibson Garage, London, at 6:30 p.m.
