Taste Test: Retro Soul artist Kristopher James gets vulnerable in ‘Feelings’
The American singer-songwriter grieves a past relationship
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Kristopher James‘ “Feelings” is what would happen if an artist bottled all of their pain and emotion of broken relationship into a single. Every lyric in the singer-songwriter’s newest single “Feelings” is saturated with grief and heartbreak. “Every single word you said I believed it/And everything you did I thought was for me/How do I know what it’s suppose to mean when I can’t/Even stop this feeling I’m feeling” James cries. A self-taught singer, James is entrancing, with an impressive range, captivating power and an all-round gorgeous voice. These excruciating lyrics are only softened by the instrumentals: earthy bass, jubilant brass, delicate piano and expressive synth, all combined in a deliciously smooth jazzy soul mix. If you would like some beautiful retro-soul that will make you cry, this single has you covered.
