James Lindsey is an American songwriter and rapper from Louisville, KY. He has established a unique sound that has resonated amongst fans and critics alike. Now, James releases the first music video titled “Rainbows” from his album Same Sky, slated to be released on January 20.
He states, “Mass incarceration inspired this video. I put myself in the shoes of Simone who had obviously lost someone to the prison system in America. It sounds dark but myself and my director Roman Lane used light in the video as a sign of hope. The song is based on my experience with my cousin who was incarcerated and how I felt when he was released. It is one of those stories that a lot of families deal with and I am glad to share my perspective.”
