    "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

Turn me up
Get out your seat
Everybody hit the dance floor
Get with me
I’m burning up
And I’m in demand
I’m so sexy steal your woman and your man
I’m feeling good baby
And I’m feeling free
And yes I’m young, gifted and Black so just let me be
Come get a taste pretty baby
Let me strut my stuff
And if you want more
Then you can turn me up

I’m feeling wonderful
Doing big things in my life
Let’s call it what it is
My own personal paradise
I'm gonna spread my wings
And fly to higher heights
I’m gonna raise my voice
Stand with me and shine your light

Turn me up
So you can hear
The joy in my voice
When I'm smiling from ear to ear
I'm on the beat
I'm in the groove
Watch how I do my thing
When I start to show and prove
Just let the rhythm of the music pull you in
Let's come together on the oneu until the end
This ain't no half step
What we got is real
No masquerade
You got to play the way you feel

I’m feeling wonderful
Doing big things in my life
Let’s call it what it is
My own personal paradise
I'm gonna spread my wings
And fly to higher heights
I’m gonna raise my voice
Stand with me and shine your light

Life is a party it's up you to bring the vibe
Invite the whole family
The ones who make you feel alive
Strangers are welcomed but they gotta know their place
BYO everything but break me off a taste

Turn me up right now
Baby let me funk it down with you
Turn me up right now
Baby let me funk it down with you
Turn me up right now
Baby let me funk it down with you
Turn me up right now
Baby let me funk it down with you
