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!

The Moon and Me.

Lyrics: 

I don’t wanna be alone
I don’t wanna see your phone
Blowing up on the weekend when I’m with you
Mind up in the clouds
But mine is on the couch
Too stuck between the cracks to even move

I don’t seem to be the same
When you’re callin’ out my name
Is it funny is strange? I don’t know
But it seems to be just right
Kinda nervous, fight or flight
Will it hurt us? It just might

Oh, I don’t wanna hold up
When you’re getting caught up
Distracted by everything that’s not me
Feeling kinda selfish
Baby, I can’t help it
Distracted by everything about you

Maybe it’s all just me
Maybe it’s make-believe
In my head, thought's are running when I’m with you
Walls between us still
While it feels unreal
Thinking over nonexistent issues

I don’t seem to be the same
When you’re callin’ out my name
Is it funny is strange? I don’t know
But it seems to be just right
Kinda nervous, fight or flight
Will it hurt us? It just might

Oh, I don’t wanna hold up
When you’re getting caught up
Distracted by everything that’s not me
Feeling kinda selfish
Baby, I can’t help it
Distracted by everything about you (Ooh)

When I feel something
It don’t gotta make sense
And this, is that something
That I can’t un-crack and bend
My mind is a firewall
That won’t let my words through
In need of a Tylenol
For this pain to reduce

Oh, I don’t wanna hold up
When you’re getting caught up
Distracted by everything that’s not me
Feeling kinda selfish
Baby, I can’t help it
Distracted by everything about you

Oh, I don’t wanna hold up
When you’re getting caught up
Distracted by everything that’s not me
Feeling kinda selfish
Baby, I can’t help it
Distracted by everything about you

Ooh, ooh

I’m distracted by you

I’m distracted by you

Distracted

Lyrics: 
V1
If I could tell you I would, honestly 
No secrets between us no it's, just honesty 
Even if it hurts 
Even if it's just for today 

Pre-chorus 
I know you're just here for good fun 
It's over before it's begun 
So don't let me fall for a figment of my imagination  

Chorus 
So don't be a stranger 
Let me get to know ya
There's a kind of danger 
When my mind starts to wander
Round and around trynna figure you out 
What it'd be like to be

V2
One step is two steps too much 
Rather be much better if we stayed in touch (You and me) 
But it was too late 
I can't make you stay, but wait

Prechorus 
I know you're just here for good fun 
It's over before it's begun
But don't let me fall for a figment of my imagination

Chorus 
So don't be a stranger 
Let me get to know ya
There's a kind of danger 
When my mind starts to wander
Round and around trynna figure you out 
What it'd be like to be

Bridge
Now, I can only see you in my mind 
You'll be gone in the morning, goodbye
But my one final wish is tonight 
Just for tonight

Stranger's Sweater (Full Version)

“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.
