IN THE PRESS
“
James’ album (Feel Your Pain) is one ambitious effort in empathy... (he) transforms pain into meaningful art.
“
Feel Your Pain offers listeners a sense of hope planted within each song...smooth blend of genres and styles into a unique, atmospheric sound—part folk-country, part indie-rock, and part soothing ambience.
“
History of Crime takes listeners on a sensory journey that opens with vibrant, other-worldly synths... we're introduced to Russell's weathered, fervent voice and pensive lyrics that can seep into the listener's soul.
