This new era started when James Wolpert left The Voice on semifinals. After the elimination James went on Ellen. It's was awesome.
After a while James said that he was working on an EP and the name of the EP is "Forfeiture Portraiture". The own James drew three covers for "Forfeiture Portraiture" and he let the fans choose their favorite cover.The options were:
"Conceptively, it's a self portrait," he said. "It's a sketch, a reading on where I am personally right now... it's largely a critique on myself. It's a very introspective album and I'm sure that it won't be to everyone's taste, but I like it."
"I like to think it does something new that not many people are doing out there," he went on. "Just in the way it sounds and the way it's coming together: the instrumentation, the choices I make when I mix it down. I think it's interesting. It interests me, at least."
James released on his bandcamp page a song called "Bats".The song ia about how James hurts everyone that ever cared about him. Listen:
James and Cole Vosbury announced that February 15 they are going to be at American Music Theatre. Check this playlist with some videos of American Music Theatre show.
James started a band with his best friend from college,Cory Juba. He played the guitar on his American Music Theater show.
James kept doing shows with his friends from The Voice.Also on that docket is his upcoming EP, which has decided to
self-produce. "It's fun, I'm learning a lot," he smiled. "I want to be
literate in terms of sound engineering. I don't want to move forward
going into studios where I leave all of that up to the engineer -- I've
dabbled in that and it's not been bad, but it hasn't turned out the way I
wanted it to. I want to know how to exert creative control over what's
happening outside of the booth and I think that the best way to do it is
to self-produce an album and stumble through it."
He admits, though, he will probably never be satisfied with the EP. "I
will obsess over this until it's somewhat presentable, then I will
release it and hopefully people will enjoy it."
But Wolpert isn't worried about whether he will succeed or not. "I'll
figure it out. I'm very confident I'll find a way," he said. "When I
want something, I'm very determined to make it happen."
They will, hopefully, walk away with a better understanding of who,
exactly, James Wolpert is, he said. "It is as true to life a
self-portrait as it possible can be," he said. "That's an important part
of music -- that you have some personal investment in it. People like
that stuff."
