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!



Somebody New - Sophia James

Time Goes "Bye"

Our Unfair Advantage   v. Mellow –– R & B. w/ GB Style Gtr.....Two misfits, and a love that bends the odds.

Our Unfair Advantage

Verse 1
We don’t play by the rules they hand us,
built our fire from sparks they abandoned.
Two misfits finding rhythm in the static,
what we’ve got is rare, unstoppable, magnetic.

Chorus
With you by my side, I’ve got an unfair advantage,
the world can’t touch us, no matter the damage.
They don’t know the secret, they don’t understand it —
love like ours is our unfair advantage.

Verse 2
When the weight of the world tries to break us,
we just laugh at the storm as it shakes us.
Every scar’s just proof we’re survivors,
together we rise, together we’re fighters.

Chorus
With you by my side, I’ve got an unfair advantage,
the world can’t touch us, no matter the damage.
They don’t know the secret, they don’t understand it —
love like ours is our unfair advantage.

Bridge
I talk too loud, you overthink,
we trip on our shadows, stand on the brink.
But broken pieces fit when they’re aligned,
two misfits in love with a dangerous design.

Chorus
With you by my side, I’ve got an unfair advantage,
the world can’t touch us, no matter the damage.
They don’t know the secret, they don’t understand it —
love like ours is our unfair advantage.

Outro
Yeah… love like ours is our unfair advantage.
Whispered truth the world will never manage.

Our Unfair Advantage   v. Mellow ––– R & B, GB Gtr.....Two misfits, a love that bends the odds.

We were playing twenty one
In the pitch black of a country night
I was struck like a drum
and I rolled my eyes trying to sit tight

I was dangerously tangled second time I met
Now I’m so impatient to adore you
I crashed my car last night

We were drinking warm wine
From paper cups that we left outside
God I wished you were mine
As your skin light up in the sunrise

I was dangerously tangled second time I met
Now I’m so impatient to adore you
I crashed my car last night

So dangerously tangled second time I met
Now I’m so impatient to adore you
I crashed my car last night
