Bliss. This is what Heaven must sound like.

<3 THIS PERSON!!. Samantha James is very talented and all of her songs are really good. But my fav has to be end It Out To THe Universe. I heard it on Real World and i <3ed it ever since. Get It.

Really good!. This is some good, fun, relaxing yet uplifting,smooth music. For some reason her voice reminds me of the amazing New Zealand group Strawpeople. Great work!

Wonder. Really enjoy the style, and the vocals, and the rich beauty of her melodies. Been in love with Aya for a year, but was craving a new sound, and when she came on Pandora with "Right Now", immediately went to look for her on iTunes.

Eh....it's Ok.. I laugh at the comparison to EBTG. It doesn't even come close.

Wonderfully exquisite. I've really enjoyed the album from the get-go but it took me a while to really come to understand and love the smaller subtle parts of what's there. For that matter, I'm not sure I've scratched the surface on this thing despite many, many repeats. It is cheerful (but not overtly happy), breathy, layered, beautiful (gorgeous vocals), full bodied, intriguing (thoughtful), and, above all, wonderful. Yes, all those things and more.

Not what I'm used to. I normally listen to jazz and r&b but this is a really nice change. I like her music and she has a different type of voice. Why isn't she as famous as Taylor swift???

Samantha- James Rise. Who are these idiots that don't recognize a fresh talent when they see one. Samantha James is one of the best performers to come along in a long time. I havn't been as enthralled with an artist since George Michael came out with his ingeneous 'Older' in the late 90s. Listening to 'Rise' is like floating on a cloud, a real treat, I listen to it repeatedly in my Salon. What a magical ambiance she creates!

new song. I would like to write a few songs for her..

In One Word . . . Smooth.. Extremely enjoyable album. Like previous customers I will say that this album has no song you would want to skip.

Excellent stuff!!. I think the whole album is superb. What a great voice, so smooth and I never tire of listening to her. I love smooth female vocalists (Sarah McLachlan, Sade, Basia) which makes me appreciate Samantha and her entire album all the more. Great stuff!

Rise... Wow, So fresh, so good, It is now my #1. Dazzman...

My new thing.... Thank you Samantha for such beautiful, intoxicating, sexy music.

LOVE HER!. I absolutely love her music! I keep waiting for her next cd! Hope it is soon!!!

WOW.... ...is all that I can say about this album. I've recently (unfortunately) discovered her by 'Shazaam'ing' one of her songs (Right Now) at my job (Sephora). Once I found that one, I then realized that she sang a few more songs on our satellite radio station (Breathe You In && Rise). Her voice is so angelic, soothing, && reminiscent of Sade...easy listening at it's best. I wish that I could've came across Samantha James sooner...STUNNING artist.

Absolutely Wonderful!!. I was a little reluctant to give the entire album 5 stars because, in my opinion, there are a couple of tracks here that are a bit weak, but the overall ambience and charm of this album is such that the high spots fully compensate for the few weaker moments. The title track 'Rise' has evolved over the last few years into the very top of my playlist rotation. It is an incredibly outstanding piece of work. It is not often that this genre of music does much to really move my soul, but this does it!! This music takes me places. Especially in a world of less than mediocre, obnoxious, in-your-face dance/rap music that is slung at a non-discerning audience of "consumers" at every turn, Samantha James literally stands out as a breath of fresh air. Her voice is smooth, lovely and unintrusive and suites the laid-back grooves. While the album is, by no means, groundbreaking, it most definitely quenches the thirst for tasty ambience. Enjoy!

Samantha always and forever. samantha 4 life. shes so great as an artist and i always listen to her music. keep going samantha james :]

Absolutely Beautiful!. The very first song I heard from her was Subconscious, and was mesmerized immediately. The more I heard from her, the more captivated I became. Her music is perfection.

Definitely easy to listen to. I never got tired of hearing all of her tracks, its just amazing. I have to say Rise is the best though, i can't stop listening to it

I'm an addicted to this album!. I just love her voice!!

Chilling out. Excellent album, very relaxing

Finally!. I've been waiting for this album since I picked up Om Lounge 10! Samantha, thank you!. If you're enjoying this album, I also recommend checking out Fred Everything 'Lost Together.' They're good companion pieces.

Great songs!!. This album is different than any other I listened to before. I love the fact it’s not anyone I particularly know in the music industry. I heard of SJ back in 7th grade and started to love her songs.. so I decided to buy the full album and loved it. No Mariah Carey or Randy Jackson material can compare with any other. I hope Samantha brings more dance/soul and house music to the world.

samantha James album!. What a great choice in buying this album it's excellent!! A must have!

So Smooth..... Play it if you want to get lucky. For me the smooth flow of Right Now and the cool beat of Living Without You make this album worth listening too.

What can I say?. This album, and its artist, are completely amazing. The lovely birdlike quality of Samantha James' voice and the soothing rhythms of her sweet songs pull you into a serene universe, away from material worries, where all is as it should be. I believe that is exactly Ms. James' intention.

Samantha James Addict!. Unbelieveable beats, fresh vocals, and a sexy, cool vibe! A CD you could listen to a million times...and every time is just like the 1st. Songs/ tracks that will create memories of that one memorable night that seemed to stop in time...Can't wait for the next album and tour!

The voice of a Siren. Ethereal... I get lost in it.

Gorgeous Music.. I love Send It Out To the Universe, the begining is amazing. Also, I love Deep Surprise. She needs to make more music. Love it.

Alot of 'wows". Ok, this CD is utterly amazing. I came across it just looking for some new music to download and was amazed when I heard her voice. The beats are so chill and beach-like. I want to just drive to the beach, sit and get lost in the music. It is also a great cruising cd. This cd is a must-have for the spring/summer season!!! Best tracks are "Breathe You In", "Rise"...well actually they are all amazing.

Hidden Jem!. So I was browsing throught the dance section even though I'm a fan of smooth jazz/lounge vocalist sand I stumbled upon this album. All I can say is WOW. Her voice is captivating much like Sade and Basia in their prime. Lots of great tracks here, pick up the whole album!!!

Nostalgic. She reminds me of Tara Kemp. A very smooth 80s R&B/Freestyle influence in her songs. 5 Stars.

Amazing music. Magnetic vocals & smooth beats.

rise indeed. Music that makes you groove and relax...feel-good energy.

Smootthhhh. This cd is awesome! Found SJ on Kaskade Waves of Change Rise is smoothhhhhhhhhhhhhh =)

spqr357. Samantha James is a great singer. I love the rise album. Especially, the song "rain". She is an amazing talent. I found her by accident by shazaming her at work, on a song of hers playing on our plane sound system. She sounds like Sade but with a different tone. I will look to buy her music!

Love @ first sound~. What an amazing hidden treasure. I can't get enough of this CD...my only regret is that I'm just now discovering it (2008). I do hope she comes back into the spotlight. I use this CD in my yoga class...great spirit and great positive messages. Love you Samantha~

Is Samantha James a "Smooth Operator"?. Definitely! James' sound is similar to one of my personal favorites, Sade. Both artists are smooth, calming, and very sexy. Therefore, if you love Sade, or just want to relax, then please purchase "Breathe You In", "Rise" and "Rain" (on the latter track, you'll find an astounding vocal similarity to the Queen herself, Sade).

One of my favorite downtempo/groove artists. The whole album sounds really good. Dim the lighting and put this album on and you'll be ready to entertain or just sit back and chill. Great blends of mellow bass and her beautiful voice.

Love Samantha James. This album is pure bliss and absolutely amazing!!! I can't wait for the new album!!!

Such a Wonderful Chilled Vibe!. First Off, I will say that Samantha James's music is by far my favorite! I fly Delta Airlines all the time, and I love hearing her music on the monthly boarding music schedule! Theres something about her music that goes so well with the "Airport/Flying" vibe! Keep it up Ms. James your music is very smooth and relaxing!

Thank.... God I found Samantha James. Her voice is amazing! I can't get enough of these tracks. It's so full of soul.

Great Album. I can't wait her new album.

I live for this. i have been listening to this album non-stop for about a week now with no signs of letting up. I can't get enough. it frees me.

great remix. ROCAsound rocks the dance floor with remix.Great Sound!!!! Buy this Release and all the others!!!!

Excellent album for sure!. This is an excellent album, one I stumbled upon by accident. Her voice and music totally remind me of Nu Shooz from the 80's! Takes me back and really enjoy the soulful mellow beats. Will be buying her new album in a few minutes!

Awesome!!!. I love the song "rise" it's the best, and it makes me happy every time I hear it

Really good, like amazingly good.. Samantha James is just an amazing singer and song-writer. My dad and I love music like this and being so young, I'm surrounded with a lot of garbage. I love this album!

On the wings of Angels. Ha....released in 2006 and just now discovering this treasure. Pure and Soft, Spritual, Uplifting, voice like and Angel. So refreshing to find music of this calibre and meaning in the cultural and spiritual wasteland we find in 2018. Samantha James embodies the essence of Beauty, of being a Woman, of being a Human Being. Gives me hope...it was a good day!

Samantha James. She’s the closest to Sade. Her music is so pure , Her singing is beautiful and touching. I love the beats and how she mixes with Kaskade and Miguel Migs. It can’t get much better then that ! Xoxo love you Samantha !

This is amaizing!. The song Rise is great! I just love that song! Need it.

Suprise Suprise. usualy I dont go for dance/pop of that type, but what a suprise... just a look at the cover you might think its cheesy, like everything else on the radio but its realy nice .... cool, fresh and catchy.... sam is a goody .... compare this with cheap britney .... here we got some style ....

Simply Stunning!!!!!. What a fantastic, stunning, ambient, chillout album! - If you only purchase one album, make it this one. Not one bad track, with each one equally as good as the next. If I had to choose one track though my stand out is 'Send it to the Universe'. What a way to end the day......download this album today, you will not be disappointed!!!!!!! :0)

Worth waiting for. After hearing 'Rise' all those years ago I have eagerly awaited Samantha James debut album and pleased it was worth waiting for - Great voice!!! The Deep Mouse approves

A Rare Diamond!!. What can I say about this outstanding mellow album. Filled with chills and grooves to enjoy all day and night. Samantha James's vocals are very soothing in every single track and this is perhaps one of the most flawless chill out albums I've heard in a LONG LONG TIME! I first heard about this singer on one of the Hed Kandi albums and prayed one day she would release an album. Thankfully she released an amazing album and I urge all HedKandi fans to check this out. In the days of commercialisation with the new Hed Kandi albums, this proves that there is still hope in chill out music! Stand out tracks from me are 'Come Through' , 'Living Without You', 'Breathe You In' and 'Enchanted Life'. Special Nod has to go to 'Send it Out to the Universe' which is just amazing! In all, every single track is brilliant and it is rare to find an album that has back to back quality! BUY IT NOW FOLKS!!!! you won't be disappointed!!!

Love it xxx. The first album I have bought off I tunes! Well worth the money!!!! A real summer chillout, great voice, great album!!!!!!!!!! XoX

blew me away. this is a must for any chill out dance fan,i dare you to listen to this it will blow you away.samantha james,one to look out for the future.

Buy it now!!. I love it, love it, love it!! This is an absolutely brilliant album and I just can't stop playing it!! If you love any of the Hed Kandi Chill albums, then you will totally love Samantha James, her voice is truly magical. Rarely do I find an album where I like all of the tracks, so this one is an exception as all the tracks are fab!!! Buy it now and enjoy!!

Amazing voice and album. Love this ladies voice and wow what a brilliant album of beautiful music .For me this album has my emotions all over the place .Its so powerful.Right now...and Deep surprise...are the tracks that do it for me .

Amazing. This artist has the most amazing voice, it'll blow you away! Every single track on this album is excellent. Definitely the best album I've ever bought.

wow, doesn't get much better!!!!. first heard this fantastic artsit on a tokyo project presents cd. come across this album, had a listen and am now totally hooked. every song is infectious. just lay your head on your pillow, sandy beach mound, close your eyes and just drift away into perfect tranquillity. absolutly amazing album.

A brilliant album that all my friends LOVE!. Such a superb album of songs and downtempo grooves. I've played this to everyone from my Mum to my best friend and they all love it. Suitable for poolside listening, dinner party music and Sunday afternoon relaxing. Samantha is a star in the making...buy this now!

What a voice.... First discovered SJ through Hed Kandi which included Rise on one of their compilations. This is a fantastic album - west coast lifestyle at its best. Stand out tracks, Rise (obviously), Angel Love, Enchanted Love and the very single-esque Send It Out to the Universe. This album combines the very best of cool chill-out (see Om:Ibiza) and dance. SJ deserves to be massive..she's beautiful and talented..what a combination...

wow. a delight to listen to.

Gorgeous.... What a sweet, soulful breathe of fresh air! Samantha James reminds me of the summertime and the sun...Perfect timing since Autumn seems to have befallen us!

RISE. WOW WOW WOW!!! ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS THEN YOUR TONE DEAF? PUT THIS IN YOUR STOCKING YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Rise to stardom!. A wonderful album, full of sun drenched, laid back soulful tunes, each of which are strong enough to be singles in their own rights. Easily one of my favourite albums to have been brought to my attention by the HK Beach House genre. If you don't love it, then you don't love summer!!

Awesome!. Don't let the "official review" in any way put you off buying this. SJ captures all that we love most about the chillout / groove combination. As others have said - you will find yourself being taken to all those places that give you peace and smiles. Be warned - you won't be able to stop tapping your feet or fingers to those rythms though! This is an absolute "must have" album. This album is as stunning as SJ is in her looks!!!

WOW !!. Well what an album . You have to buy this one. Track 7 is great untill the guy starts to sing, but otherwise the best buy for ages, Paul

Amazing!. This has to be one of the best albums I've ever listened to! I honestly cant get enough of it. All the songs are as good as the one before - the perfect music to listen to when your in a calm mellow mood. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Brilliant. What a brilliant album. Love her voice, some tunes remind me very much of Everything But The Girl, and I've got all their albums.

Trippy, dreamy and outstanding. This is a great album that reminds you of lazy sunny days chilling out. This lady has got a great voice. Buy it. The stand out tracks are Rise, enchanted life and angel love.
