Leela James

James’ debut album, entitled A Change Is Gonna Come, was released on June 21, 2005. The album was conceived as a throwback to an earlier era of American soul music, building upon the legacy of 1960s and 1970s soul singers while incorporating elements of contemporary R&B, funk, and gospel.

In the lyrics to the album’s lead single, entitled “Music,” James laments the current state of contemporary popular music. She condemns the glorification of materialism and misogyny that has often been attributed to the lyrical content of contemporary R&B and hip hop songs while pleading for the return of the artistry, dedication, and sincerity displayed by musicians of earlier decades.

VP and bubbette

The lovahs. We’ve had chilly mornings lately, so the lovahs are snuggling up on the sofa for warmth. Excuse the pillows, they’re so I don’t break the 90 degree rule with my hip. These two love each other so much.
