We are informed by Reuben James people that "Champagne Kisses" is
his debut studio album despite a number of EPs and a live album
being previously released.
James released an EP "Adore" in 2019 along with "Tunnel Vision" which we believe is a live recording so this will be his first
full studio album. In Dec '22 he also released his first set of
solo recordings "Piano Love 1".
The title track "Champagne Kisses" was released on 2 Jun featuring Ric Wilson, CARRTOONS & Joel Culpepper which followed two other tracks from the album, "Love Stoned" (May '23) and "Means The World" (Apr '23).
The album includes seven new songs. The track most likely to get picked up on, we think, will be
"Sun Goes Down" with "Do To Me" being a nice retro sweet soul style ballad and then there's
"Satisfaction" which features Roy Ayers. Other featured guest artists
are Ric Wilson, Joel Culpepper, Braxton Cook, Gareth Lockrane, Connor
Albert, House if El Tom Ford, FONVEILLE, Basil Petite, Vula
with CARRTOONS (Ben Carr) appearing on all tracks.
Birmingham based James made his name writing and touring with Sam
Smith. He wrote songs for Smith's 4-million-selling album "The Thrill Of It All" and they have performed together around the world including at
The Oscars and The Grammys.
He has worked and collaborated with the likes of Stormzy, Sam
Smith, Disclosure, Marcus Mumford and Herbie Hancock which has
led to James developing a unique sound and style of his own and
he is now widely considered as one of the most exciting artists
to have emerged from the UK in recent years.
