RGM RATING (????????)

An immersive love story that feels encased in botanical bliss.

Queens, NY native James Japan is a singer, songwriter, and producer with a long-standing drive for pursuing his music dreams. He credits legendary singer Sade as the inspiration that helped him overcome his personal struggles. After years of performing on the East Coast, James Japan is ready to show off his expressive style to the world. His latest release is the soothingly mellow single “The Wait.”

This R&B track starts out beautifully encased in a soft atmospheric aesthetic that feels like floating through a field of flowers in the spring. James Japan keeps things light and laidback with his vocals as he longs for a love that’s worth waiting for. The variation of tones makes “The Wait” feel like a complete journey, while the sense of joy, longing, and passion feels irresistibly tempting and wonderfully delicate. Press play and let yourself absorb the absolute bliss of “The Wait.”
