You\u2019ve got to just keep going and keep trying again and again and again to find joy.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jim James - Come Again (Official Video)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YbkPZh4Nri4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tSimilarly, the album\u2019s title, <em>Wowed Out<\/em>, is a term James uses to describe feeling overwhelmed in an era of constant external stimulation. To cut through all that noise, James found refuge, and a creative spark, in a trove of old music he\u2019d created with composer Brian Reitzell, best known for his work with filmmaker Sofia Coppola.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tJames said he\u2019d been returning to this music for years, but \u201ccouldn\u2019t figure out what to do with it.\u201d It finally clicked last year and \u201ceverything started flowing in a really beautiful way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tOf the album, James added, \u201cThere\u2019ve been times in my life where I\u2019ve felt lost or depressed, but music has always been the thing that pulls me back. When I think about making this album, it almost feels like I was in some kind of dream and now I\u2019m trying to remember what the dream was about. The whole thing brought me a lot of joy and comfort while I was making it, and I hope it brings everyone else a little joy and comfort too.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules trending-in-article lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<em>Wowed Out <\/em>marks James\u2019 first solo album since his pair of 2018 releases, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-album-reviews\/review-jim-james-looks-back-to-his-slacker-rock-roots-on-uniform-distortion-694884\/\">Uniform Distortion<\/a> <\/em>and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/jim-james-unveils-two-new-songs-from-uniform-distortion-companion-album-723074\/\">Uniform Clarity<\/a><\/em>.
