September 15th, 2025 – Standout R&B artist James Vickery, today releases his superb new studio album 'JAMES.' on Red Bull Records. Fans can stream the album here.
Alongside the album is also the arrival of brand-new single “Fall In Your Arms” - a simply stunning track, encapsulating the depth and sheer quality of James as an artist. He strips everything away for this tender, heart-rending piano ballad on which Vickery pleads, “I finally feel safe/ ‘cos you’re here by my side. I need it night and day/ And all my problems drift away”.
Also appearing on the album is the suave R&B slow jam “Like That” featuring breakout rapper BIA, and a breathtaking rendition of Aerosmith’s chart-topping hit, “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing”. The fan favourite “Hotel Lobby” was recently featured on Love Island UK.
Joining forces with longtime collaborator JD Reid (Mahalia, Mabel, Sinead Harnett), producer Larrance Dopson (Kendrick Lamar, Ella Mai, Justin Timberlake) and Grammy-nominated LA songwriter/composer Jonah Christian (Beyonce, Normani, Tems), his stunning new album is a remarkably assured statement – one that introduces a whole new sound to his audience. It’s an album Vickery calls his most authentic yet, blending classic R&B, Seventies funk, soul, and the pop sounds of the late Nineties and early 2000s that shaped him. That organic energy is palpable throughout - a bold, emotionally rich statement from an artist fully embracing who he is.

About James Vickery
James Vickery bares his soul in 'JAMES.', a bold, self-titled album that redefines his sound. From the cinematic strings of “Hotel Lobby” to the woozy beat of “Higher”, each track showcases his exceptional voice—one he nearly lost due to a life-threatening ear condition. Diagnosed with cholesteatoma at eight, Vickery was left deaf in one ear, but a vocal coach helped him discover his gift.
His 2021 documentary Louder explored his journey, including his Welsh and South African heritage and struggles with identity. Once driven by a need for acceptance, Vickery has now embraced his truth: “This is real, it’s me".
“I think my whole career, I was really trying to be accepted by different communities while being afraid that they would reject me,” he says. “I would make music to try and impress people without realising it.” Somewhere along the road, though, he found an inner peace—one that allowed him to fully embrace himself and his artistry.
His career boasts a COLORS SHOW with nearly 40 million views and collaborations with Musiq Soulchild, EarthGang, and SG Lewis. His independent 'Sheet Music' EP highlighted his versatility, while 'JAMES.' moves beyond strict R&B, blending funk, hip-hop, and pop with producers JD Reid, Larrance Dopson, and Jonah Christian.
Tracks like “Hotel Lobby” groove on bossa nova rhythms, while “Butter”, originally meant for another artist, became a heartfelt confession of yearning. “Right Side” disguises his hearing loss as a love song, and “Higher” channels ‘80s synth-pop with dazzling vocal runs. The album’s finale, “Fall In Your Arms”, is a raw, orchestral ballad closing the emotional journey.
“This is the most authentic version of me,” Vickery says. Seamlessly merging classic R&B, ‘70s funk, and early 2000s pop, 'JAMES.' cements him as a fearless artist with a sound uniquely his own.
Now with over 200 million+ career streams James continues to gain traction globally — with 🇵🇭 the Philippines at #7 and 🇮🇩 Indonesia at #10 on his Top 10 streaming markets globally!
