The suspenseful music video explores deep love and romance between two fugitives that are on the run. The creative music video, filmed in Houston, has a cameo from Houston-based rapper Lil Flip, and is produced by Dang Films.
James continues to wow audiences with her unique style, powerful voice and SOUL! She has not slowed down this year, touring with Maxwell, Fantasia and Anthony Hamilton.
“My music is my art and I’m always excited to share my craft with the world. ‘Right Back In It’ is special as it highlights the importance of getting back to yourself, getting back to love, and getting back to what makes you feel good,” James said.
She has plans to implement a special initiative this fall for current female students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities that will help them get “Right Back In It” with their academic focus, preparing them mentally ready to tackle their life’s goals.
“Right Back in It” is the first single from James’ upcoming project that will be released in the fall of 2023. Tour dates are scheduled throughout the US and Europe.
