James is an iconic British rock band that emerged from the post-punk scene of Manchester in the early 1980s. They found commercial success during the 1990s with hits such as "Sit Down" and "Laid," which helped to define a generation with their poetic lyrics and folk-rock leanings. Over the years, the band has experienced various lineup changes; however, the core of the group has often revolved around lead singer Tim Booth's distinctive voice and the band's penchant for introspective and evocative music.

Throughout their career, James has demonstrated a remarkable ability to evolve, incorporating different musical styles while maintaining a loyal fan base. Their recent releases show a band that has not lost its penchant for experimentation, as seen with orchestral versions of their songs like "Sometimes," "Love Make A Fool," and "She’s A Star," bringing a new depth and richness to their classic sound. The release of "Live In Extraordinary Times (Deluxe)" captured the raw energy of their live performances, while "The Campfire EP," alongside the lush acoustics of "Miss America," exhibits their versatility and continuous artistic growth. James's latest studio album "All The Colours Of You" and the enchanting single "Isabella" showcase their enduring relevance in the modern music landscape, proving that James remains at the forefront of innovative British music.
