José James has released his new single, “Trouble,” from the forthcoming 2012 album No Beginning, No End. From the world of Jazz where he is surrounded by the genre’s most respected players and into the realm of R&B and soul, José provides listeners with an intimate and inspiring sound.
José explains, “’Trouble’ is the story of a man trying to love a woman, his world and himself. My hope is that it inspires people to keep strong and enjoy the beauty of their own lives. I wrote it with Marvin ‘Trouble Man’ Gaye in mind – he’s my favorite singer and inspires a lot of my music. A lot of his songs were inspired by jazz and he sang with so much passion and truth. I wanted to sing something that showed a more playful and sensual side to my singing, something with a killer horn section and a sexy bassline. I’m blessed to have Pino Palladino lay down that groove!”
We are absolutely loving this. What do you think?
