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!

Lyrics & Chords:
Tracksuits and red wine movies for two
d              a/c#     bm         d7/a
We take off our phones and turn off our shoes
   g            d/f#       e7           asus         
We'll play nintendo though I always lose
d             a/c#         bm       d7/a
Cos you watch the tv while I'm watching you
    g             d/f#     e7           asus 
There's not many people i'd honestly say
        d        f#7        bm        d9
I don't mind losing to
g            d/f#   e7sus4  e4
But there's nothing like doing nothing
            em9                gm9      c7
With you
     d   em9   a7

Dumb conversation we lose track of time
d          a/c#      bm            d7/a
Have i told you lately i'm grateful you're mine
     g          d/f#       e7              asus    
We watch the notebook for the 17th time
d            a/c#             bm   d7/a
I say it's stupid then you catch me crying
g          d/f#        e7           asus
We're not making out on a boat in the rain
      d          f#7      bm          d9
Or in a house i painted blue
        g      d/f#     e7sus4   e4
But there's nothing like doing nothing
            em9                gm9      c7
With you
     d   d6   c#m7b5   f#7

So shut all the windows lock all the doors
   bm                   bmmaj7
We're not looking for no one don't need nothing more
          bm7                      e7sus4       e7
You'll bite my lip and i'll want you more
bm                     bmmaj7
Until we end up in a heap on the floor
  bm7                e7sus4      e7
Mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm
gm9  c7   f#m9 b7
Mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm
em9       a13b9


You could be dancing on table tops wearing high heels
             d          a/c#       bm           d7/a
Drinking until the world spins like a wheel
g          d/f#          e7           asus
But tonight your apartment has so much appeal
      d           f#7          bm       d9
Who needs stars? We've got a roof
          g      d/f#        e7sus4   e4
And there's nothing like doing nothing
            em9                gm9      csus
With you
     bm   f#9   f9   e9
No there's nothing like doing nothing
           em9                a7
With you
     d

Lyrics & Chords:
F#                                                       G#m
Have you seen the seven oceans?
D#m                                                    B
Or the snowcap of a mountaintop?
F#                                                       G#m
Or the Northern Lights set in motion?
D#m                                                    B
Or a heartbeat slow to a stop?
F#                                                       G#m
Have you read a book by candle light?
D#m                                                    B
Or heard a leader’s call to arms?
F#                                                       G#m
Have you ever felt my love burn so bright
D#m                                                    F#/A#
Like a fireball in your arms?

B                                                         F#/A#
More than all the things that I’ve seen
B    C#    D#m               F#/A# 
You will always be part of my tapestry
B                                                         F#/A#
More than all the places I’ve been 
B    C#    D#m               Bm   
You will always be part of my tapestry

F#                                                       G#m
Have you felt a revolution?
D#m                                                    B
Do you ever sit to stop and pause
F#                                                       G#m
Just to take a little moment
D#m                                                    F#/A#
To see what’s mine and yours?

B                                                         F#/A#
More than all the things that I’ve seen
B    C#    D#m               F#/A# 
You will always be part of my tapestry
B                                                         F#/A#
More than all the places I’ve been 
B    C#    D#m               
You will always be part of my tapestry

C#                                                       D#m     B
These are just lines of latitude that we made up drawn upon a map
C#                                    Bb7/D         D#m     F#7
We could be meeting with more than minds, we could be woven and intertwined

B                                                         F#/A#
More than all the things that I’ve seen
B    C#    D#m               F#/A# 
You will always be part of my tapestry
B                                                         F#/A#
More than all the places I’ve been 
B    C#    D#m               Bm              
You will always be part of my tapestry

Lyrics:
Will it be a pavement or a sidewalk,
When I finally lay my eyes on you,
Someone I’ve already loved
Or will you find your way out of the blue?

Will it be my flat or your apartment,
When I finally realise I do?
Will we meet on Baker Street,
Or find ourselves on Melrose Avenue?

I don’t know who you are,
But I’ll save you a seat,
Hang my coat on a chair next to me.
I tried to reassure the waiter,
Say you’re down the street,
He laughed at me,
So here’s to you,
The most beautiful thing that I have never seen.

Someone on a screen asked me a question,
Something about what love means to me,
Maybe it’s just circumstance or general compatibility.

I don’t know who you are,
But I’ll save you a seat,
Hang my coat on a chair next to me.
I tried to reassure the waiter,
Say you’re down the street,
He laughed at me,
So here’s to you,
The most beautiful thing that I have never seen.
