Overview
- Jim James has announced Wowed Out for release Aug. 28 via ATO Records and issued the first single, “Come Again.”
- The album grew from years of archived sessions with composer Brian Reitzell that James revisited and reshaped into new songs.
- James produced the record himself and worked with mixing engineer Emily Lazar to craft a sound that favors tenderness and sonic collage.
- He says “Come Again” came from discouragement about rapid change but turned into a message of perseverance and seeking joy.
- Early coverage conflicts on the album’s length—some reports list ten tracks while others describe 24—an inconsistency the label or artist has not yet clarified.
