Growing up heavily exposed to blues, soul, classic rock, and rap, he has blended these styles and created his own original brand of urban music. And even though you won't hear him talking about guns, hustling, or 24's, his music is as real as it gets. Who else can melt a female and melt a mic at the SAME TIME? So don't get it twisted when you hear him sing a smooth chorus--because you can believe that a wicked flow is always nearby. It's a unique mix of styles that came natural to him when he started recording back at the age of 14.
"Back then it was just two tape recorders with a built-in mic," explains James. Since then he's rocked plenty of parties and talent shows, and sold hundreds of self-recorded cds.
And now, driven by his desire, his dream, and his following, he has released his debut studio album, THIN LINE. Collaborating with one of Pittsburgh's top producers, Chris "Mindbender" Longo, (who has worked with Lil' Flip, MC Eiht, Stat Quo, and currently CRAVE), this album will touch all demographics.
Call him an artist on the edge. Maybe even a bit moody. But he calls it like he sees it. J.James doesn't make the rules . . . he just walks along the thin line that we call life.
I WONDER
J. James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wish I could forget about you
You moved on I think I should try the same
You hate me cause I'd play these games
I'm killing myself, you don't have to
Life would be an adventure with you
I'm sorry for the things I didn't do
So many things I didn't tell you
In J. James's song I Wonder, the singer is expressing his feelings towards someone he seems to have lost. He is still entangled in their memories and every single trait and attitude of the person hypnotizes him. He longs to move on and forget about this person but it seems impossible. The person has already moved on and left him behind, he feels he should do the same but the idea of living without the person feels like a daunting task. He acknowledges that his actions in the past haven’t been the most commendable and this may have led to the separation. He wishes he had done things differently, maybe the results would have been in his favour.
