José James' Blackmagic (10th Anniversary Edition) out now

Rainbow Blonde Records proudly announces the special edition vinyl and digital release of José James’ iconic second album “Blackmagic,” out worldwide today.

Available for digital and 180 gram vinyl purchase here: rainbowblonde.co/blackmagic10

Limited edition 180 gram neon pink vinyl also available through VinylMePlease.

Featuring lo-fi hip-hop production from legendary producers Flying Lotus, Moodymann and Taylor McFerrin, Blackmagic saw James embracing his role as “the Jazz singer for the hip-hop generation.” Highlights include the Soulquarian meets Curtis Mayfield vibe of “Code,” the Moodymann-produced Marvin Gaye tribute “Detroit Loveletter” and the spaced out jazz meets hip-hop of “Blackmagic.” Across 13 songs James throws down the gauntlet and takes a soulful journey into the history of Black music, skillfully connecting the dots between soul, R&B hip-hop and London’s brokenbeat and dubstep movements. The 10th Anniversary Edition also includes four new live tracks recorded at Brooklyn Recording with an all star band.
