Berlin-based Australian singer-songwriter James Chatburn has floored me with his new single “Ok Ok (Be a Man).” It’s a beautifully soulful song that explores concepts of masculinity and self-acceptance.
“For the last few years, I have been challenging my views on masculinity and how I have perceived myself and other people based on what I had learnt growing up,” James explained. “It’s like looking to the men that you have grown up with, hang out with now, how we have grown, how we haven’t, and who can we really look up to as a role models.”
This one is Good with a capital G. Stop what you’re doing and take a moment to really listen. I guarantee you won’t be sorry!
