James Ollier – “For a Moment or a While”

This is the first time we covered this talented artist, and we’re glad we did. James Ollier’s latest track is honest, and that makes it easy to connect with, and what I love most about “For a Moment or a While” is the rich and unique writing style that will grab your attention from the first lines. If you dig this one, make sure to check out his previous releases like “Holding onto Something” and “Free”.

The collaboration with Brett Shaw at 123 Studios in Peckham really adds something special. Shaw’s drums and bass give the track a subtle backbone, while Ollier handles vocals, guitar, and piano. You can tell they weren’t trying to overdo anything, they just built something that works and lets the story come through, and trust me, it’s a track that can make you sing along and stick in your head.

If this single is any sign of what’s coming on his upcoming EP of the same name, 2025 might be a big year for him. Definitely worth giving “For a Moment or a While” a listen, and follow James Ollier on social media to catch what he releases next.
