Jose James once said, 'I could make jazz albums all my life, but I want to connect with people.' His fourth album for Blue Note, 'Love in a Time of Madness', takes him into new sonic ground. Even though he's well - known as a jazz singer, James brings in vintage and modern R&B sounds in these 12 tracks. He shares life's ups and downs over soul, electronic pop, and trap - influenced instrumentals, with a radio - friendly style. Check out hits like 'Closer', 'To Be With You', 'Ladies Man', 'Always There', and 'Breakthrough'. Features a gatefold sleeve and is from the Blue Note label in 2017.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the starting groove. Listen at a comfortable volume to fully appreciate the rich sounds. When you're done, carefully lift the tonearm and return it to its rest. Then, place the record back in its gatefold sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep the vinyl in top shape. Remember, handle the record by its edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the playing surface.
