The James Malcolm Band, which drops a new single, “I’ll Be the Fire,” co-founded by singer-songwriter Malcolm Flavell and named in honor of his late father, has always written from the heart. But here, they tap into something deeper: love as a lifeline, faith as a foundation, and devotion as a promise that never burns out.
“I’ll Be the Fire” unfolds like a cinematic duet, weaving two voices into one emotional tapestry. This is a song for partners leaning on each other, for parents holding their children through illness, or for anyone turning to God during their darkest nights. The “fire” in the title becomes a symbol of strength, hope, and protection.
Malcolm’s writing is purposeful. He doesn’t embellish or overcomplicate. Instead, he paints with clarity; every line feels crafted to be both personal and widely resonant. The band’s signature blend of storytelling and soul is fully present: warm acoustic tones, uplifting melodies, and a vocal performance that balances vulnerability with quiet power.
“I’ll Be the Fire” fits seamlessly within the group’s broader artistic journey. From the optimism of “Roll With the Sunshine” to the introspective longing of “Would You Want to Know,” the James Malcolm Band embraces life’s emotional spectrum. This latest single stands as the emotional anchor of that collection, a testament to unwavering love in all its forms. There’s no performance for performance’s sake. Every note feels like it comes from lived experience. “I’ll Be the Fire” is a promise, offered with grace, faith, and a steady glow.
