The James Boys burst onto the scene with their latest single, “The Real You” which has a mix of polished production, original lyrics and electrifying vocals that will not be forgotten soon.
“The Real You” makes itself heard from the beginning through its energetic delivery with poppier breakdowns that give it more layering. The song is a personal one which serves as a heartfelt letter to the drummer, Steve from his father. Through self-reflective lines, this song reaches out to those mentors who came late in a person’s life such as one’s parents or teachers trying to know them better than just stories and pictures.
Steve’s thoughts about how it all started provide insight into the band’s emotional journey which transformed hate into seeking resolution and closure. This shift in perspective reverberates throughout the tune giving it maturity and catharsis.
This track doesn’t only show off how good they are musically but also their ability to develop believable storylines that connect deeply with listeners. Having an infectious energy coupled up with honest words in this solo should make The Sons of James get noticed by more people within the music world.
