Shawn James "The Dark & The Light (SIGNED)" 12"
"Shawn James issued his fourth studio album, The Dark & The Light on March 22, 2019. The LP finds the South Side of Chicago-born singer-songwriter in fine form, drawing upon strains of blues, soul, gospel, and folk traditions across a series of songs focused on rising above our traumas and heartbreaks to find redemption and peace.
James has always had something to say on the lyrical front and his best vocal performances to date accentuate the emotional content of these songs, including the opening âOrpheusâ, one of those rare songs that realigns the listenerâs DNA upon first play, the autobiographical âLove Will Find a Wayâ and âChicagoâ. Equally compelling are numbers such as âBurn the Witchâ and the closing âWhen Iâm Goneâ.
James has recorded strong records in the past, but The Light & The Dark is his most formidable and memorable to date." - Popmatters
