California native Derek James delivers a coastal country vibe with genuine, laid-back charm that feels right at home on country radio. His track “You Were There” stands out as a highlight, showcasing his approachable style. However, the collection overall suffers from a lack of variation in tone, music, and vocals, which keeps it from fully standing out. While Derek’s sound is solid and comfortable, there’s room for more experimentation and boldness to elevate his work beyond familiar territory. A promising artist to keep an eye on.
