當(dāng)今的Soulful Deep House世界，最值得注意的新生代歌姬！她的歌聲，牽動喜悅與哀愁的情緒。 擁有詞曲創(chuàng)作／現(xiàn)場演出等洋溢才華，Samantha James的光芒從參與《OM: Chilled》合輯開始便已讓人大為驚艷！ 她對歌曲的詮釋深深受到Basia、Sade等歌手的影響，融合了爵士的即興、藍(lán)眼靈魂的優(yōu)雅與電子舞曲里適度加溫的優(yōu)秀功力。 by Stewart Mason Dance-pop singer Samantha James is inspired less by the R&B divas one expects in her chosen style of music than by a subtler breed of 1980s singers influenced by vintage cocktail jazz and bossa nova, such as Basia, Sade, and Tracey Thorn of Everything But the Girl, as well as contemporaries working in the same general style such as Bebel Gilberto or Miho Hattori of Smokey and Miho. Born and raised in Los Angeles, James is the granddaughter of the late David Rose, the orchestra leader and film and television soundtrack composer best known for his 1962 instrumental hit "The Stripper." Her debut album Rise, co-written and produced by Sebastian Arocha Morton (aka Rocasound), was released in 2007 by the San Francisco based electronica label OM Records, preceded by the single of the same name, which hit number one on the Billboard club chart in 2006.
