About Morgan James:
One voice is all it takes. The right vocalist can make you fall in love at first listen, elicit tears, or bring you back to a different era altogether. A microphone and a stage remain the only necessities. That holds true for New York-based soul singer and songwriter Morgan James.

On her sophomore album, Reckless Abandon, James casts an unbreakable spell with a powerhouse voice and a soulful poise. Freedom and expansion are the threads that bind the collection of 12 original, co-penned tracks with writers from LA to NYC to Nashville and in between. The result is a fusion of pop, funk, and R&B with a classic approach.

James delivers an impassioned performance that showcases her virtuosic vocal range that spans from sultry to spontaneous and controlled, effortlessly. From The Juilliard School to Broadway, by way of a beaten soul-searching path, Morgan made leading appearances in Berry Gordy’s Motown: The Musical, Godspell, and more. Regardless of genre, James delivers passion and technical prowess that is rivaled by few.

Reckless Abandon is the follow-up to James’ debut album, Hunter and Morgan James Live (Epic Records). She can also be heard on countless theater and concept soundtracks. James shines in adopting a diverse range of musical ideas to recreate them with her own identity and flare. Her rendition of Prince’s “Call My Name” was the last cover to be personally approved by Prince before his death. The track garnered success as it reached Top 15 on Billboard Magazine’s Urban AC chart, while The Wall Street Journal called Hunter “A superb new album.”

Since Hunter’s release, Morgan’s music videos have accumulated more than 75 million views (and climbing). Achieving viral acclaim while appearing in several videos with Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, Morgan also joined the collective on global spanning tours through the US, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. As a solo artist, Morgan has performed at such notable venues as the Hollywood Bowl, Montreal Jazz Festival, Carnegie Hall and The Kennedy Center. She continues to wow audiences the world over through electric live performances with her touring band.

Lyrics:
(Written by Morgan James & Doug Wamble)

Lookin' out the window of an empty room
Don't know where I am, or how long I've been gone
Listening to nothing but the sound of my breathing
And my tears that hit the floor now I'm alone

You're the one who told me to surrender
Laid down my weapons and I met your demands
Then I gave up, and I gave you everything
Laid out my heart in your hands

And I paid, I paid, I paid
But you killed me anyway

Nothing I could ever do could keep you satisfied
I told you I would pay it all if you named the price
But all the money in the world couldn't show you my worth
But I spent it all so I could survive

And I paid, I paid, I paid
I gave, I gave, I gave and I gave
But you take; take it all away

Lookin' out the window with an empty heart
Don't know where I am but I know I’m alone
Used to be that I was living for you
Now I'm dying here now that you're gone

Cause I paid, I paid, I paid
But you killed me anyway
