New single ‘What If I’ and EP released April 25th

Jamie Hartman aka Ben’s Brother, follows a packed few months with the release of epic new single ‘What If I?’ on April 25th. Having worked with Island Records for last year’s collaboration with Anastacia, this new single will once again be released on Jamie’s own Flat Cap Records.

The build up to release follows one of the most hectic periods in Jamie’s life (not least of all the planning of his forthcoming wedding!), encompassing work with a broad array of exciting musical talent, and some that took him into new and previously uncharted territory. You might not have known it, but Jamie’s songs are everywhere!

The fruits of this intensive creative period emphasize the sheer depth of Jamie’s songwriting talent. His co-write with US singer Rosi Golan, titled ‘Think Of Me’, is a feature on the soundtrack to US box office smash movie ‘Dear John’ and looks set to spur a run of exclusive film work; perhaps most excitingly, a Columbia Pictures film score is already on the cards. Meanwhile his songs continue to inspire some of the most exciting new talent here in the UK ; look out for forthcoming single ‘Haunted’ as performed by singer-songwriter Ben Montague, already Record Of The Week on Radio 2.

More established performers haven’t been slow to recognize his continuing ability to deliver either; Lee Ryan has chosen ‘I Am Who I Am’ as the song to re-launch his solo career, whilst ‘Scars’, considered by many critics to be the choice pick of Natalie Imbruglia’s album, will get the single treatment later this spring. As if that weren’t enough, Jamie even had time to write and produce two songs for newly crowned French ‘artist of the year’ Christophe Willem.
