“It’s always so exciting to be able to release new music out into the world, and I thought a fun way to celebrate the new album would be to do a solo acoustic tour, where I could play some of the new songs live, as well as other songs from throughout all of my solo albums, MMJ songs, a few covers, and other fun stuff!” James wrote in an Instagram statement.
He added that a portion of proceeds will go to The Ally Coalition, which provides critical support to organizations dedicated to supporting LGBTQ youth, and Arthur’s Earth Sanctuary in Louisville.
New Music and Album Release
As for “Wowed Out,” James shared in a press release that it was inspired by Alice Coltrane’s spiritual recordings, “where it’s just her and [an] organ praying together, and there’s no major event. I wanted these songs to feel like a journey that takes you somewhere rewarding, without always trying for some big dramatic payoff like a massive chorus or a huge guitar solo.”
Watch the accompanying video for the peaceful, uplifting track below.
Wowed Out marks James’ first solo album in eight years. It features the previous single, “Come Again,” and is set for release on August 28th. Pre-orders are ongoing.
