Brandon JamesTouching upon the work of performers like R. Kelly, The Isley Brothers, and Aaron Neville, Brandon James is able to pull in contemporary sounds to establish himself at the head of current slow jams. 

There She Goes (Somebody) is a hopeful track that showcases Brandon James’ unique ability to create a narrative along with adding further depth and complexity to the backing instrumentation of the track. The track’s dynamism has each constituent element the opportunity to shine – sizzling horns, on-point percussion, and the dulcet tones of James’ vocals. If I Only Knew is perhaps the most interesting of James’ tracks as it showcases the performer’s ability to keep listeners hanging on every word.
