José James has transcended his reputation as a jazz singer to embrace influences including R&B, Moroccan Gnawa music, hip-hop and gospel. James returns with Love in a Time of Madness, a full-force jump into contemporary R&B that blends moody soul, electronic pop, and trap beats, with the occasional influence of African folk, American gospel and Minneapolitan funk.
