Recordings by cello and voice duo Branden & James–– featuring singer (and AGT finalist) Branden James––are lushly arranged and passionately performed, often with a theatrical flair. Right away, “Viceremo” proclaims the duo’s classical opera pedigree with an arrangement that blossoms with flute and other support. The song’s plea for togetherness is a timely one and it’s this sort of idealist, inspirational spirit that carries throughout their songs, such as “Till We See,” which calls upon humanity’s best, most unselfish qualities. Mix in some covers of Ed Sheeran and classic folk-rocker Don McLean and the result is an experienced pop-classical duo with multi generational appeal.
