Tracklisting

Information

This is the brand new album from the sultry-voiced Jose James on Gilles Peterson's brownswood imprint!

Jose James has firmly placed himself on the map at the forefront of quality new soul with Blackmagic. Mr James has certainly cast his Blackmagic over us her at SOTU and shot right up in our estimations the album has seduced us with his laidback sexy latenight vibe and its easy to see why with its soft blend of dusty jazz grooves, silky smooth soul, hip hop and even a hint of dubstep (not so sexy). The album boasts an all star production crew, Flying Lotus, Moodyman, and Dj Mitsu!  You have to check are 'Warrior' which is fender piano led wonky jazz remake of our very own Afro Warrior Benga's hit 'Emotions', it shouldn't work but this is heavy!
