Developing from intimate acoustics into a vibrant string-laden pull, “Morningstar” is a tender and engrossing folk track from Sean James, the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter who impressed with “Comete” last month. James’ vocals exude a calming charm, reminiscent here of The Clientele. Mellow, frolicking acoustics accompany to start, with a bright melodic escalation just prior to the one-minute mark. A string-forward presence lingers in the second half, amidst tender acoustics and emotive vocals, which make for an engaging, beautiful feeling that captivates. “Morningstar” is another success from Sean James.
