Digital Booklet

"Part of James' winning formula stems from the fact that he is never formulaic. His 2015 record Futuresoul also included tracks featuring R&B singers, but stylistically that project is distinct. Futuresoul was suited for that intimate evening, while Honestly provides the soundtrack for that drive to the spot, cuts for the dance floor, conversation and yes that private moment for two."
- Howard Dukes, SoulTracks
Honestly is the sixteenth full length release from four-time Grammy Award nominee and Soul Train Award-winner Boney James. His muscular and gritty tone on the saxophone, paired with a smooth and jazzy pop sensibility, has made James one of America's most well-loved instrumentalists. This record features soul superstars Eric Roberson and Avery*Sunshine as guest vocalists and with soulful ballads, danceable upbeat tracks and virtuosic solos, Honestly is one of James's most eclectic and polished releases to date.
"The word ‘honestly’ really reflects how I aspire to live my life and create my music. One of the great things about music is how powerful it is. It can totally transport people. These are interesting times we are living in and the one thing I can do with the skills that I have is to make music that evokes a feeling and takes people somewhere… to do what I can to try and make the world a more pleasant place."
