Listen to 1978: www.rainbowblo...
José James - the forward-looking, genre-defying Jazz singer for the hip-hop generation - has done it again. “1978” (his 12th studio album since 2008’s “The Dreamer'') announces an instant classic, combining James’ deep love of jazz and hip-hop with songwriting and production nods to R&B heroes Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson and Leon Ware. Produced by James and featuring an all-star ensemble including Grammy nominees Pedrito Martinez (Camilla Cabello, Eric Clapton), Marcus Machado (Daniel Ceasar, Pharoahe Monch), Jharis Yokley (Sleigh Bells, My Brightest Diamond) Chad Selph (Bilal, FREELANCE) and David Ginyard (Solange, Blood Orange), “1978” pulsates with the socially conscious feel-good vibes of Marvin Gaye, Prince and Stevie Wonder. James also skillfully explores the boundaries of Black music, featuring Brazilian rising star and recent Latin Grammy nominee Xênia França as well as Congolese-Belgian rapper/filmmaker Baloji.

LYRICS
Fiz do meu coração
Altar, lugar de oração
Bendigo o teu presente
Que é caminho e sigo
Na sua direção
De volta para começo
"Odú" é meu endereço
Água sobre água
Nada demais nada
Acima de Deus
I hear the river call my name
Some days I want to fly away
But I fall on my knees in praise
Lord raise me up and show the way
And take me to a higher place
I'm trying lord sometimes I fail
The devil out here giving chase
Your vision is my saving grace
Wanting to fly away
Why did you say goodbye to me
I left for lands across the sea
I kept my heart you took my name
My brother don't cry for me
Lost in the dark but now I see
And tell my sister I am free
See you again when next we meet
We thank you
We bless you
We return you
Back To the One
We uplift you
We praise you
We bring you
Back to the One
