Sophia James — her birth name is Sophia Wackerman — is a singer, songwriter pianist and global jazz studies major, and she describes her music as a mix of rock, soul, pop and fusion.
By the time Sophia Wackerman ended her American Idol 2020 run in the Top 11 after a jazzy performance of the Beach Boys “In My Room” she had changed her name to Sophia James. Judge Katy Perry suggested the singer switch to Star, her late mother’s stage name. But Sophia settled on paying tribute to her brother James, whose special needs never held him back.

Now, Sophia has released a new song,  “Somebody New.” The tune harkens back to standards from the 50s and 60s. There is even the sound of a crackling needle at the end of the record. Break out your martini glasses, people!

Show Me That You Care

Slow Jams are the most intimate side of soul and R&B: smooth, sensual songs built on deep basslines, warm Rhodes and silky guitars, with vocals whispering love and desire. Perfect for late-night moods, romance, and emotional reflection. Born in the ’70s and iconic through the ’80s–’90s, slow jams blend slow groove, love lyrics, and timeless soul energy.

Groove of Love

a song where the listener becomes a part of an exploration of junctures: between immaturity and a relationship, and between love and lust.
Sonically, it showcases the confluence of my influences,  R&B/Soul, Pop, and Alternative

“Cinnamon Sugar” depicts the sweetness of discovering affection, relationship, and passion. It is a heartwarming story about a newfound love. It illustrates how a person can be impactful to another’s life. The song carries the feeling of a writer falling in love with the little things that she does; her routines, what she likes and even her flaws. Despite everything else, it makes love a little bit sweeter.
