Product Description

Import two CD pressing of the Dance diva's 2007 album includes a bonus disc containing seven remixes of 'Deep Surprise'. Songwriter/performer Samantha James has spent the past three years honing her estimable skills as a modern-day singer/songwriter within the dance/electronic/soul genre. Her sultry style, vocal cadences, and international rhythms are largely influenced by such artists as Sade, Basia, Amel Larrieux, Bebel Gilberto and Morcheeba. On her debut album Rise for San Francisco based indie label Om Records, Samantha teamed up with producer and co-writer Sebastian Arocha Morton-AKA ROCAsound (Sting, Vikter Duplaix, Fischerspooner, Fila Brazilia and Rick James for the classic finale' of the hit film Little Miss Sunshine.) A native of Los Angeles' Topanga Canyon where she currently resides, James is the grand daughter of Emmy Award-winning composer/conductor David Rose. OM

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent, April 27, 2008

After previewing the first track, I knew I would be buying this; it's the best $10 I spent in a long time. Samantha James has amazing vocals and the music is simply very enjoyable to listen to. All of the tracks are unique and have their own personality. "Rise" is the most popular track, or at least the one James is known most for. My personal favorite is "Send It Out To The Universe" because it has such a nice sound.

Where to start? Samantha James is new to me, I just discovered her via last.fm. Within 3 minutes into "rise" (the title track) I knew I was in love with her music. I was buying this album just a minute later. I have zero regrets about doing so.

Samantha's absolutely angelic voice is backed perfectly by smooth jazzy house grooves. Most albums have "filler" material, songs that are just there to take up time. Not this one. Each and every song is worth cranking up.

Rise has made it into my top 5 albums of all time.
