    "José James: New York 2020" is the first live album from an artist with a decade long career built on his electric live show. Despite an entire year without shows, James found a way to create and connect with audiences during the peak of Coronavirus NY lockdown. José James is known for assembling some of the best live bands in the world, and his "New York 2020" crew is no exception. Each song resonates with the creative urgency of an effervescent, resilient 2020 New York City.

    This double CD edition features photos by legendary photographer Janette Beckman and a booklet insert with liner notes by the artist.

lyrics

It’s finished
It’s over
It’s time to get out of the rain
Finally sober
But I need a high for this pain
Once I laughed and loved and called your name
But I had to choose from the drugs and the bottle and fame

It’s 3 in the morning and I’m still awake reaching out
Stuck on the shape of your body
The taste of your mouth
Once I laughed and loved and called your name
But I rolled the dice and l lost on your love all the same

Say what you need to
Scream it
Know you mean it
I’m not trying to make you stay
Never been good at goodbyes
But let me say mine
Every heart I hold I break

Say what you need to
Scream it
Know you mean it
I’m not trying to make you stay
Never been good at goodbyes
But let me say mine
Every heart I hold I break

So let’s have a coffee
And let’s smoke one more cigarette
You’ve heard all my stories
You’re somehow not sick of me yet
Once I laughed and loved and called your name
But I paid the price for your love and I’ll take all the blame

Say what you need to
Scream it
Know you mean it
I’m not trying to make you stay
Never been good at goodbyes
But let me say mine
Every heart I hold I break
