Under the Scope: Jose James - The Dreamer

January 29, 2008

Jose James
Sometimes we get surrounded by the electro, b-more, mash-up and heavily sampled sound that we hear in clubs that we forget about our musical roots. The new album from Jose James on Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood imprint is an organic reminder of those roots. Jose’s new album is entitled the Dreamer and that what this album does. You not only listen to the music you start to day dream and reflect about past experiences. Standout Tracks: Park Bench People, Spirits Up Above, Blackeyed Susan. Check out this track produced by Flying Lotus and the live show from Fabchannel.

Rating: ★★★½☆
