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!

Forget About You

Poetry - Intimate

Forget About You - Intimate

This lyrical piece is a heartfelt conversation between a wise guide and a troubled soul, offering comfort and insight during moments of despair. It explores the universal themes of emotional struggle, loss, and healing, gently reminding us that sorrow is not a sign of weakness but a pathway to growth. Through vivid imagery and tender metaphors, it reveals that every pain carries hidden wisdom, and every fall plants seeds for transformation. The recurring message, “let it go, let it flow,” becomes a soothing mantra for surrender and resilience. The song encourages embracing life’s natural ebb and flow instead of resisting it. With each verse, the listener is drawn closer to a deeper truth—that acceptance leads to inner peace. Ultimately, it’s a poetic reminder that we are never truly alone, even in our darkest hours.
