[@arrowmae3013]

I produced and directed this video for SJ. So cool to see all of the love in comments over the years.

[@azeemmuhammad3983]

Any reason as to why there is no HD version of this? I mean it was produced in 2008, when hd recording was readily available.

[@SpeakNaturalEnglish]

She has to be the most underrated artist ever. Fell in love with all her music 🎵 instantly.

[@mrsunshine8753]

I found her and immediately fell in love with her voice and the beat of the tunes. She has to be one of the most moving artist I’ve heard in thirty years. I find myself wanting to dance and air drum!! Simply angelic.......❤️

[@brandonbailey6963]

Samantha James was so ahead of her time. I extremely respect her for not letting record companies make her into something that shes not. I can't began to explain how crazy her impact on the main stream music industry would have been, if she would have chose to go that route. she would be a problem for a lot artist out today.

[@RS-of1om]

Music Industry is run by gangbangers. Thst is why radio sucks. Nobody wants to hear 1 song played 15 times a day.

[@sonique_31]

Actually her sound is preceding some ubpeat R&B/house/HipHop music today. Artists like Kaytranada and Disclosure for example in this scene.

[@Depreeaz]

Why is she so underrated ❤️ it breaks my heart. She has a voice of a angel

[@Heimdallr00]

Diamond T ~ 'tis better to have a smaller group of fans who truly appreciate your talent.

[@yahfeeisrael9495]

Yep

[@paulompro]

Quality is not for everyone ... It's better this way.

[@FlavioArk]

Unfortunately, it's true !! =(

[@valgag0]

I have to admit that she is very good....that kind of music is not my cup of tea but really she is good!

[@ooshiegooshie1]

She is adorable and always makes me feel uplifted!

[@scarecrow49855]

This whole album is AMAZING! She is such a talent. Soulful voice. Beautiful. Really, in a just world, she'd be rocking the top of the charts and Britney Spears would in a Louisana trailer park. I heart Samantha James.

[@bjt3774]

The entire album is a must have. The only problem is it's hard to find in stores because they only order two copies and of course both copies have been sold. This song is something you listen to around the crib. The video adds to it's relaxing sound. I hope it gets some rotation so the rest of the world can see this great talent!!! Go Sammy J

[@comba06]

Her 2 albums from 2007/2008 ‘Rise’ and ‘subconscious’ remain hugely underrated masterpieces and an example how to use newer electronic production values but not at the expense of lazy songwriting. Check out the great key change at the end of this song for example.

[@koffeyshop]

In this age of uninspired reusable pop productions, Samantha shines out in the darkness like the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Her amazing mix of old-school jazzy rhythms with her incredibly sweet sensual voice evokes emotional atmospheres unmatched by any other artist I have ever heard. Her tunes are utterly erotic, mega-hypnotic and absolutely addictive.

[@TheMastersuperblaste]

Michael Coffey I echo this sentiment times a million.

[@sonique_31]

Jazz funk and house

[@landocalrisian2014]

🎯🎯🎯

[@christifsu]

Never heard of Samantha James before tonight. She's amazing!!! Great lounge/chill music.

[@MrAndrewSchmitz]

I think she is one of the most underrated artists out there...

[@LeftofLife]

This song is absolutely perfect and Samantha James is a genius.

[@macbig73]

What is this calm and uplifting feeling? A Samantha godlike vocal like shamanism floats me. Heals me who is tired.

[@saringaclose]

my girl is so underrated better then most the crap they sing out there today

[@vorash2011]

Because its a "dance" music and it is not a "fashionable" mainstream pop music.

[@everything4304]

I concur

[@saringaclose]

@@everything4304 we still jamming her music in cape town the deep house scene

[@mvyper]

this is so warm sounding.. that bass..

[@samanthavasquez2610]

And today she’s just as amazing. Beautiful, voice soul touching, timeless music.

[@PaulA-wu5dy]

SJ is such an incredible artist, with a beautiful, soulful voice. And just as everyone has said, she has been criminally ignored by mainstream radio, which is such a shame! But at least we get to treasure the amazing music she has put out 😊

[@claudiusdelo4106]

This woman's voice is like heaven, no wonder it's called Angel Love

[@andrewdouglass1427]

If people are lined up here who can quote "Angel Love" lyrics from 15 years ago, she can't be lying. Thank you SJ and you have a ready audience!

[@yuliachernyshova3660]

Вот это находка ❤ 15 лет назад ???? Даже не верится… гениально ❤❤❤❤❤

[@alexanaya6820]

such a beautiful voice. I've been discovering so many new artists on pandora...

We love this woman in South Africa 🇿🇦

[@purpleharmony7798]

Listening to your songs takes me into a different world. Your voice is so sweet and beautiful, thank you for being in our lives and for bringing us such wonderful, uplifting music.

[@oddmodd1]

This was one of the grooviest and infectious beats of the 2000s decade. You can definitely hear that 90’s R&B Influence. If you can get your boogie on to this track then you can’t dance. 🔥🔥

[@landocalrisian2014]

This song was on my Tidal playlist created for me and when I tell you, I keep this on REPEAT!! The beat, her vocals are perfection and keeps my mood 🤗🤗

[@ralphariellus]

Samantha James is divine! All her songs are beautiful!

[@Axultair]

Her music is heavenly, timeless, and has given me so much light and hope to the hard times of my life ❤

[@TAGMedia7]

There has been a Samantha James-sized hole in my soul since she stopped performing. I miss her music so much.

[@sphemathonsi572]

Refreshing...sweet sound.

[@ChicReal]

Her music sets me free, goodbye stress, hello sunshine and tranquility. =)

[@DD_MENEN]

South African house music developed because of this type of artists and songs...now S.A. is top house music hub and people forget where it started #thankssamantha

[@justing86]

Work in retail and she is forever the fav song at work when I'm folding clothes

[@MrElectroGlam]

I Love her voice !!!!, she is a wonderful woman , her eyes , I love Samantha

[@Coyote1012]

Every single burden I've ever had, and every burden I currently have has just been lifted off my shoulders for 3:47 seconds. Thank you Samantha James... I needed that.

[@MIGUELMIXE]

Ive been listening her since december because she is really great. Sweat voice and melody.

[@vurbzfenomeno]

I mean this music is timeless

[@madamedutchess]

Brings me back to a great time.

[@vaadaenmacchi]

this music needs to get more exposure. this woman is really beautiful, and i mean more than just looks

[@marcoalfi]

This is so much better than what's on the radio today. I don't understand popular music anymore.

[@SheWolfe]

I never get enough of this ... her voice, the emotional connection... she is magical.

[@UniCarCycles]

i can listen to this a million times and never get tried of it.....love love love!

[@boipelom9942]

NEVER KNEW THIS SONH HAD A MUSIC VIDEO??!!! 😳😳 I am actually shook because I’ve known this song for YEARS!

You cannot deny that this beautiful woman “SJ “ has such a beautiful soul. 💖✨

[@annierodriguez3132]

What a great feel good sound, love it!

[@J.Evans_Official]

I use to work in old navy part time for the holidays they would play this song every day. My first thought were oh ok then it played so much I was like wait a minute. I stopped folding shirts and went in the managers office and was like who's that? Loved it every since this was like in 07 and 2019 wow

[@ChillifunkSA]

[@plica06]

I love this tune! The album was released three years ago. A bit surprising it's getting played on radio now? Maybe there are lots of Michelle Phan ahm, fans, who are radio DJs in South Africa! (go Ghana)

[@AvnerFerdinand]

Thiss type of beat is crazyyy in 2024...fr she is soo sooo far ahead

[@Jeffcchan]

Samantha - Your music is incredibly uplifting :-D 

[@d1gemini1]

well-well samantha james is truly an angel-magnificent vocals

[@mstasinowska1]

I've waited for you all of my life... You're my angel love

[@MrTatehead]

I truly love everything about Samantha James...She is sooooooo underrated....JUSt LIKE SADE....BOTH SOOO VERY TALENTED BEAUTIFUL AWSOME IN EVERY WAY!!!!! I CAN NOT WAIT until she does another album cd .....man soooooo cool so talented so great.....She is pure awesome....she is like Elektra ....pure femanine bad ass

[@hathor4isis]

She's talented, but not in the same league as Sade. Sade lyrics are powerful, Samantha's are nice lyrics.

[@INFEDnoX]

@@hathor4isis There's a certain innocence to Samantha James that I found (and still find) utterly refreshing. Sure, lyrically she's not on the same level as Sade - or even close - but there's this sort of naivete that is so refreshing and so very, very needed. And for that alone, I'll always place her on a level with the likes of Sade and others.

[@gatoponte]

wow!!! what a sweet voice!!! i love samantha james!!! her music is soooo relax!!

[@Heimdallr00]

Easily my favorite 'dance' artist... I never tire of her music... Without question, MUCH credit is deserved by Sebastian Arocha Morton whose production of this particular album is on a level with some of Quincy Jones' superb past productions... EXCELLENT!

[@SteveRH100]

Lovely Soulfull House music, Samantha James is on my playlist along with Colette.

[@DontForget3oct]

I love her...begging for a new album. Please...

[@indianscout1019]

Adore this, always have. She makes me melt!

[@nazcasteve]

Jamming video and tune. Love this lady. This gets met through the work day.

[@marcalatour]

Beautiful video. Great direction, cinematography, & editing and what's not to love about Samantha James.

[@voneber1]

Que música linda, maravilhosa. Envolvente. Perfeita.

[@alejandrriosgarcia361]

I love this girl's music, like Kaskade's music, both are my favorites, excellent music, very good songs, rhythm and sound at the same time.

[@LOLITSDOOM]

One of the best female singers right now. And with those beats, it makes her music even more appealing.

[@azzleeka]

We are witnessing a goddess singin'

[@EMcollective]

Love this!!!!!!!!!! SJ - what a classy girl~

[@bossmillzentertainment]

Crazzy vibes🔥🔥

[@fetymann]

"The air we breathe smells like love." My favorite line

[@grinja73]

Ive got her albums and with some of the songs her voice is a bit faint, it doesn’t come through the music strongly. But on songs like this, its simply amazing. More please!

[@transporterIII]

5:59 in the "morning" at Sixth and Market Street, thanks OM, thanks Samantha!
