Bruno James Music: “Valerie”
NEW YORK -
July 8, 2026 -
PRLog -- "
Valerie" is a tender tapestry of brotherhood and nostalgia, woven from
Bruno James' memories of 1990s Atlanta. While double-majoring in Music and Biology at Emory University, James shared a formative chapter of his youth with his brother, Paul. Though he initially pursued a career in science, the stillness of the pandemic ultimately guided him back to his true calling: music.
This piece evokes the golden, sunlit days of their shared past — from the waters of Lake Lanier and the heights of Stone Mountain to the vibrant energy of downtown Atlanta and Mountains of Helen, Georgia. Set to the cultural backdrop of
Steve Winwood's music, "Valerie" captures a profound sonic nostalgia in a more contemporary format while still preserving the 80's vibe. Ultimately, the track exemplifies the timelessness of 1980s music, proving its unique power to transcend multiple generations and resonate deeply with young listeners today. This song stands as a heartfelt dedication from the artist to his brother.
Bruno James is a saxophonist, vocalist, writer, producer, and an exploratory mystical visionary who fuses a variety of genres into intimate compositions that are able to invite a broad audience into his mission: Healing the world through music. By rebranding the soprano saxophone, Bruno utilizes unique sonorities that push the envelope —
a true mixologist.
