Now, I seem to remember some journalist, sometime, somewhere, referring to Nate James as "the James Blunt of R&B", or something like that. Which I think is a bit unfair, because I reckon he's not sold anywhere near that many records, for a start. Plus, given the nasty press that's so often been given to Mr Blunt, I'm not sure Mr James is really deserving of that sort of aggression. Particularly given his laid-back, funky, soulful sound. Anyway, I was alerted by an email which arrived about ten years ago, but which I only recently found in my junk mail folder, to the fact that Mr James released a new EP, 'Funkdefining', on Monday. You can preview it on the MySpace page, and whilst you're doing that, if it's your thing, you can look forward to James' second album, due in the spring.
