WATCH NEW VIDEO: José James | “EveryLittleThing” – Announces 2014 Tour Dates
JOSÉ JAMES PREMIERES NEW VIDEO FOR “EVERYLITTLETHING” ON VEVO
JAMES TO CELEBRATE THE ALBUM’S JUNE 10 RELEASE
WITH JUNE 12 NYC RELEASE SHOW AT THE HIGHLINE BALLROOM
VEVO has premiered the music video for the album’s first single “EveryLittleThing” today from José James.
The album’s creative shift is also heard in the rock edge of tracks like “Angel” and “Anywhere U Go” and is evidenced in the addition of guitarist Brad Allen Williams to the stellar line-up of keyboardist Kris Bowers, bassist Solomon Dorsey and drummer Richard Spaven. The influence of Jimi Hendrix can be heard throughout the album as much as R&B forefathers like Al Green. Special guests on While You Were Sleeping include vocalist Becca Stevens who duets with James on her song “Dragon,” as well as trumpeter Takuya Kuroda who is featured on the cover of Green’s classic “Simply Beautiful” that closes the album.
“This album is a synthesis of everything I love about music,” says José, “from contemporary artists like Frank Ocean, James Blake, and Junip to groundbreaking artists I grew up with like Nirvana, Radiohead, and Madlib. It’s also a love letter to many late nights spent in East London clubs like Plastic People and Cargo, watching new movements unfold in electronic music. I want people to feel the joy of discovery that I experience night after night onstage, reaching for something new.”
