The dreamy vibe James Vickery gives us cements him not only as a distinctive voice on the UK r&b scene but also in the r&b space in general. He's London born, L.A.-based, and "(I Get So) Emotional" is the next honey-dripping track making us obsessed.

The 90s live in his new piece as their influence is sprinkled all over. It's a slow gem with a reference to the neo-soul movement Vickery handles so well. “I wrote this for the ones that miss that classic R&B sound, the ’90s boyband R&B. The singing outside in the rain with a boombox over the head R&B,” James shares on Instagram. It's pure nostalgia - a reference to what made him fall in love with music.
