Tye James, So Damn Good Review

Tye James has a serious voice! With countless plays on Spotify, to his successful hit single “Blood on Our Hands,” with KNGDAVD to being heard on the Guinness 200th anniversary Stout commercials. Singer Tye James, of the Band KNGDAVD, has been keeping a busy pace. James also wrote Australian singer Meg Mac’s US Single “Don’t Need Permission” and Spanish Pop artist Blas Canto’s song “Save Me.”  Along with the band’s song “You Never Know” in the new Marvel TV show “Cloak and Dagger” and their song “Blood on Our Hands” is featured in Netflix’s 8-part anthology “Dark/Web.” His new solo single, “So Damn Good” is set to drop in the fall of 2018 along with a 5-song EP to closely follow.  That’s the short of it!

Positives:

James' voice is the perfect blend of control, soul and technical brilliance. Solid song writing from start to finish. Wonderful vocal harmonies.

Bottom Line:

James has that once in a generation voice, his soulfulness is dripping with darkly hued tones, that resonate with clarity. "So Damn Good" is the first single on his impending 5-song EP. I have to say it’s nice to see James releasing his own music too. So many other artists have enjoyed his well-penned ideas with hit songs, that it is a welcomed change to see James releasing his own works. Covering personal subjects about the ups and downs that are the music business, deals that didn't go through and the interpersonal struggles, "So Damn Good" also sets the tone for the project, every instrument was recorded in the studio, live. Utilizing stellar musicians with a group sound. James explains; “We spent 3 days tracking the instrumentals for the project, and then another day recording the gospel choir. This is the first of 5 songs that I hope share a larger story and I hope really resonate with people.” Based on “So Damn Good,” I think we are in for an audible treat.
