Jose is slowly becoming my favorite male singer, just behind Frank Sinatra. Also, where the fuck are the grammys?!?!?!? he at least needs to be nominated.

is it me or has all of his Blue Note output to date been quite hit or miss? He had such a tremendous start with The Dreamer and Black Magic and may have went left since ...

NBNE may be one of the 'hits'. It is a very solid listen, objectively speaking, but it didn't move like his previous two did. I see that JJ is releasing a sequel to it soon. It will be his first independent release. My breath isn't bated but I will absolutely check it out.

I really dislike the new album, i only like Saint James and INYL. The others sound bland and outdated and i'm sure he can do more. Nothing will beat Madness for me!

I disagree, the new album doesn't do it for me. Hello Like Before is the only song i like :/

There's nothing wrong with Bill Withers, he's an absolutely amazing singer and songwriter. It's just José James' renditions that are bland and middle-of-the-road. Make no mistake, I love José James but I prefer his own material by far. And I also disagree about what you say about Mariah Carey. I'm pretty sure there will be Mariah Carey tribute albums 20 years from now, she already is a legend.

MARIAH IS LIFE. I 100% agree with what you said about Jose - I prefer his original songs than covers. That Bill cover album is so bland and boring. Only 1 song is good (Hello Like Before). My fave is Love In a Time of Madness - the melodies are amazing; Closer, To Be With You...

Каким клёвым был Blackmagic, и каким безликим получился новый альбом. Так усердно обновлять саунд, чтобы на выходе получить стерильный дженерик без своих лучших вокальных фишек.

I respect your opinion. But to me, it's his worst, by far. A huge letdown, unusually generic music by his standards.

Dreads wouldn't be a bad idea. This modern approach will hopefully be the career surge he needs.

The funk bass line and syncopated handclaps on Sword + Gun produce an amazing sound.

No Beginning No End is out! As Gilles Peterson once said about this album, during his bbc show: "It's Jose James, with the leading rhythm section in the world" So true, you can do no wrong when such class acts as James Poyser & Pino Palladino are in your crew. To say the least, I've got high expectations
