Initially shooting to international fame as the lead singer of The Scheme, James has since struck out on his own and released a string of cracking singles. \u2018Eyes Open\u2019, \u2018I\u2019ll Be Here\u2019 and \u2018Anymore\u2019 all broke into the top 40, but it is with new release, \u2018Get Back to Love\u2019 that it appears that Kris James has truly found his stride.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Forgoing his deep and emotional style of songwriting, Kris James instead has been inspired by disco. \u2018Get Back to Love\u2019 is a blast from start to end, a funk-fuelled party anthem while still keeping James\u2019 earnest tones. I defy you not to start dancing when this tune comes on at all your Christmas parties this festive season. But that\u2019s not all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Every musician dreams of one day having their face plastered up on a Billboard in Times Square. Few actually achieve it. Kris James is one of these few. That\u2019s right, as of last month, Kris James\u2019s face has been gracing a much-coveted billboard in the world-famous Times Square. James posted about this milestone on Facebook, saying that<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cas a little boy growing up I always used to look up to the Times Square Billboards hoping that one day my music might be up there! Today that dream came true!!! Don\u2019t give up on your dreams guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Inspirational yet humble messages such as this one are at the core of who Kris James is.
