Jamaica Queens, NY singer/songwriter James Japan delivers the soulful new album, ‘Sad Boy Happy Place.’ The 11-track project features self-production as well as music from Woodro Skillson, Holly, Dot Da Genius, Neenyo, and Paul Irizarry. Penned completely by Japan, the LP touches on the many stages of love while showcasing the R&B newcomer’s unique artistry and undeniable talent.
“The album is a deep reflection of what it feels like to be vulnerable, in love and depressed. During the process of making the album I felt all these emotions and I just used each song to paint the story on my own canvas,” says Japan about the album.
