Samantha James was so ahead of her time. I extremely respect her for not letting record companies make her into something that shes not. I can't began to explain how crazy her impact on the main stream music industry would have been, if she would have chose to go that route. she would be a problem for a lot artist out today.
In this age of uninspired reusable pop productions, Samantha shines out in the darkness like the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Her amazing mix of old-school jazzy rhythms with her incredibly sweet sensual voice evokes emotional atmospheres unmatched by any other artist I have ever heard. Her tunes are utterly erotic, mega-hypnotic and absolutely addictive.
I found her and immediately fell in love with her voice and the beat of the tunes. She has to be one of the most moving artist I’ve heard in thirty years. I find myself wanting to dance and air drum!! Simply angelic.......❤️
Her 2 albums from 2007/2008 ‘Rise’ and ‘subconscious’ remain hugely underrated masterpieces and an example how to use newer electronic production values but not at the expense of lazy songwriting. Check out the great key change at the end of this song for example.
This whole album is AMAZING! She is such a talent. Soulful voice. Beautiful. Really, in a just world, she'd be rocking the top of the charts and Britney Spears would in a Louisana trailer park. I heart Samantha James.
The entire album is a must have. The only problem is it's hard to find in stores because they only order two copies and of course both copies have been sold. This song is something you listen to around the crib. The video adds to it's relaxing sound. I hope it gets some rotation so the rest of the world can see this great talent!!! Go Sammy J
Listening to your songs takes me into a different world. Your voice is so sweet and beautiful, thank you for being in our lives and for bringing us such wonderful, uplifting music.
amzaing from the 1st note ....thankfully there is music like this out yhere and im no subject to ever listening to the "RADIO " again ..there is no more music on the radio just arranged m noise ...who careswho brought her here...whoever it was im glad for it.
This song was on my Tidal playlist created for me and when I tell you, I keep this on REPEAT!! The beat, her vocals are perfection and keeps my mood 🤗🤗
This was one of the grooviest and infectious beats of the 2000s decade. You can definitely hear that 90’s R&B Influence. If you can get your boogie on to this track then you can’t dance. 🔥🔥
I heard this song this morning in my car on the way to work on XM "Chill" and thought how pretty. I memorized her name before going into 7-11 to get my cappucinno lol when I got to work I pulled it up on you tube and added it to my playlist!!!!♥
South African house music developed because of this type of artists and songs...now S.A. is top house music hub and people forget where it started #thankssamantha
i think ive commented about 5 times on this video...the sexiest singer ive ever seen and this song is just sooooooo good......does any one else feel weird when they hear this..like they need to fall in love and go watch the sunset somewhere in miami while listening to this...wow this is crazyyy
I truly love everything about Samantha James...She is sooooooo underrated....JUSt LIKE SADE....BOTH SOOO VERY TALENTED BEAUTIFUL AWSOME IN EVERY WAY!!!!! I CAN NOT WAIT until she does another album cd .....man soooooo cool so talented so great.....She is pure awesome....she is like Elektra ....pure femanine bad ass
@@hathor4isis There's a certain innocence to Samantha James that I found (and still find) utterly refreshing. Sure, lyrically she's not on the same level as Sade - or even close - but there's this sort of naivete that is so refreshing and so very, very needed. And for that alone, I'll always place her on a level with the likes of Sade and others.
I use to work in old navy part time for the holidays they would play this song every day. My first thought were oh ok then it played so much I was like wait a minute. I stopped folding shirts and went in the managers office and was like who's that? Loved it every since this was like in 07 and 2019 wow
I love this tune! The album was released three years ago. A bit surprising it's getting played on radio now? Maybe there are lots of Michelle Phan ahm, fans, who are radio DJs in South Africa! (go Ghana)
Every single burden I've ever had, and every burden I currently have has just been lifted off my shoulders for 3:47 seconds. Thank you Samantha James... I needed that.
SJ is such an incredible artist, with a beautiful, soulful voice. And just as everyone has said, she has been criminally ignored by mainstream radio, which is such a shame! But at least we get to treasure the amazing music she has put out 😊

I produced and directed this video for SJ. So cool to see all of the love in comments over the years.
Any reason as to why there is no HD version of this? I mean it was produced in 2008, when hd recording was readily available.

Music Industry is run by gangbangers. Thst is why radio sucks. Nobody wants to hear 1 song played 15 times a day.
Actually her sound is preceding some ubpeat R&B/house/HipHop music today. Artists like Kaytranada and Disclosure for example in this scene.
Why is she so underrated ❤️ it breaks my heart. She has a voice of a angel
Diamond T ~ 'tis better to have a smaller group of fans who truly appreciate your talent.
Yep
Quality is not for everyone ... It's better this way.
Unfortunately, it's true !! =(
I have to admit that she is very good....that kind of music is not my cup of tea but really she is good!
She has to be the most underrated artist ever. Fell in love with all her music 🎵 instantly.

Michael Coffey I echo this sentiment times a million.

Never heard of Samantha James before tonight. She's amazing!!! Great lounge/chill music.
We love this woman in South Africa 🇿🇦
I think she is one of the most underrated artists out there...
this is so warm sounding.. that bass..
This song is absolutely perfect and Samantha James is a genius.
What is this calm and uplifting feeling? A Samantha godlike vocal like shamanism floats me. Heals me who is tired.
such a beautiful voice.
I've been discovering so many new artists on pandora...
alexander anaya same🙋
And today she’s just as amazing. Beautiful, voice soul touching, timeless music.
my girl is so underrated better then most the crap they sing out there today
Because its a "dance" music and it is not a "fashionable" mainstream pop music.
I concur
@@everything4304 we still jamming her music in cape town the deep house scene
Refreshing...sweet sound.
she looks gorgeous and the sound is very relaxing!
i can listen to this a million times and never get tried of it.....love love love!
Her music is heavenly, timeless, and has given me so much light and hope to the hard times of my life ❤
I love the natural feel. It is overwhelming to hear and see that the plastic can stay in the market.
I mean this music is timeless
Samantha James is divine! All her songs are beautiful!
Listening to your songs takes me into a different world. Your voice is so sweet and beautiful, thank you for being in our lives and for bringing us such wonderful, uplifting music.
A beautiful voice with a beautiful Angel. Heaven is deffenetly smiling down on Earth. Proof of true love does exists.

well-well samantha james is truly an angel-magnificent vocals
What a great feel good sound, love it!
If people are lined up here who can quote "Angel Love" lyrics from 15 years ago, she can't be lying. Thank you SJ and you have a ready audience!

Absolute class.

Ive been listening her since december because she is really great. Sweat voice and melody.
I just discovered her a couple of weeks ago. I love her music !
Jamming video and tune. Love this lady. This gets met through the work day.
Is anyone grooving with me to this in 2022?😎
I heard this song this morning in my car on the way to work on XM "Chill" and thought how pretty. I memorized her name before going into 7-11 to get my cappucinno lol when I got to work I pulled it up on you tube and added it to my playlist!!!!♥
I love all her music but this song is my favorite.
heard of Rise by samantha james? that's good too.
Find a Way is my all-time fave Samantha song, but Angel Love is definitely in the top 10.
@@zapantalambda Yeah I've heard it, love that too

Beautiful video. Great direction, cinematography, & editing and what's not to love about Samantha James.

I love this girl's music, like Kaskade's music, both are my favorites, excellent music, very good songs, rhythm and sound at the same time.
Brings me back to a great time.
This is so much better than what's on the radio today. I don't understand popular music anymore.
Thiss type of beat is crazyyy in 2024...fr she is soo sooo far ahead
Love this song!
its good hearing a good voice and great text in house music !!
Crazzy vibes🔥🔥
I am in love with her music!

She's talented, but not in the same league as Sade. Sade lyrics are powerful, Samantha's are nice lyrics.

Man this song takes me back in time. What an all time classic!

Why is this beauty not promoted! She's a breath of fresh air!

Beauty Woman and Beauty Voice...Very Nice....We love from Venezuela¡
