Stereo Embers Magazinedescribes“Take You Seriously” by God of Love as a “delicious blend of
swirling new wave and dreamy pop… backed by an infectious synth groove... filled
with a dark and twitchy backbeat that builds to a fuzzy crescendo,” declaring
that it “Rocks with an undeniably earnest swagger.” Hear it now here

James
Burnett, the man behind God of Love, took up the piano at
14-years-old just so he could join his older brother’s band. “We had a small following in Dallas but by my senior
year we were ready to split up,” he says. Break-ups and make-ups, Burnett spent the next four or five years in and out of various
bands with his brother and friends, recording two albums and moving to Los
Angeles for a spell to pursue the dream. However, he ultimately decided that he was his own
best band mate. “I had always wanted to take my own solo project
seriously, so I decided to take advantage and focus on my own writing which
takes on a more dark and brooding tone.” Dark and brooding it is, but also propulsive and
gripping on the upcoming single “Take
You Seriously” (July 2nd,
Red Zeppelin Records) by Burnett’s solo outing God of Love. “I pulled influences from my teen years for God of Love,” he explains. Bands like Radiohead, The National, and Arcade
Fire.” In his twenties, Burnett
immersed himself in the work of songwriters such as Leonard Cohen, Townes Van
Zandt, Nick Cave, and PJ Harvey. “They influenced me with a more singular intensity and
an endless well of direction,” he says. Listeners can hear these sounds layered into “Take You Seriously,” which will
feature on the upcoming God of Love
album, and older fans may even hear a touch of Echo and The Bunnymen, The
Cure, and Siouxsie and The Banshees
in the mix. You look good on me So I’ll show you everything I know you're not that funny So I’ll take you seriously Lyrically, Burnett
also draws inspiration from iconoclastic masters. “I also had been reading as much as I could and found
a lot of inspiration from the likes of Updike,
Bukowski, Hemingway, Dostoyevsky,”
Burnett says. “This record brought
back a darker tone to my music and explored some of the more disturbing and
exciting aspects of my own nature and how I see the world.” The new single and the album to follow arrive on the
heels of a period in Burnett’s life
that saw him returning to Dallas for a run of hard times. After getting sober
and getting his head together, Burnett
is now confident in saying that his new music “is now finished and ready to
show to the world.” James
