De kop (eerste single) is er nog maar af en meteen is dit nieuwe duo, bestaande uit singer-songwriters MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge, getekend door Big Loud Records. Hun tweede single First Love klinkt bij een eerste luisterbeurt misschien vrij gewoontjes, maar blijft toch wel hangen. Beide houden ervan om stripped down versies te brengen, hun prachtige stemmen spaarzaam ondersteund door akoestische gitaar, cello en een slide gitaar. Later vallen ook drums en basgitaar in én sluit een zalig stukje harmonica alles af.

“This song is just about loving someone so much you don't wanna live one day without them,” shares Thelma & James. “We wrote the lyrics in a really simplistic 'everyday' kind of way. To us that simple kind of love is the best kind. Our first song 'Happy Ever After You' was one of heartbreak and this is its counterpart.”
“Jake and I are so excited to sign our new project Thelma & James to Big Loud Records,” shares Porter. “Big Loud has believed and invested in me over the years and I wouldn't wanna start this new chapter with anyone else.”
“The most gratifying part of my job is seeing artists come together to create something special that instantly connects with listeners,” Big Loud Partner / CEO Seth England shares. “It's even better when those artists are as kind, talented and hard-working as MacKenzie and Jake. We couldn't be more excited to welcome them to Big Loud as a duo and we're thrilled for what's to come.”
