A celebration of the freedom of art, this channels a unique aura of unhinged tales mixed with light-hearted acoustics, setting a tone for celebration.

We break through into the album with the reflective notions of wisdom in 'Show Me What You Got'. A refreshing, calming and unhinged track that is full of poetic notions of relatable experiences. Not willing to be held back in the rabbit hole, this is about raising a voice for yourself and shining your aces. The next serenading symphony 'Yes & No' is a tale of endless yearning and staying in pure delusion, where one is seen climbing imaginary ladders, wondering if all of that will love to reality. Backed by happy-go-lucky synths and a consistency of acoustics, this is a charmer.


Then we arrive at the groovy title track of the album 'Crossover'. A song that romanticizes the environment around you, this is perfect to let loose and vibe to a romantic symphony that talks about the connection of two souls. Backed by the beauty of jazz, this seems to elevate the overall appeal of the album. The track 'Get On Board' carries a similar appeal to it and is indeed a twisted tale into the memory lane where one is seen giving credit to their innate capabilities.


Where the track 'Crash Landed' is about instigating a sense of humility and realism, ' On This Rock' is a celebration of synergy. Last but not least, 'The Ballad of Abraham Jones' is a captivating tale of James's alter ego and reminiscence of a visionary he had the honor of knowing. Overall, the entire album is very vibrant, and coy and will mesmerize the masses like never done never done before!
