James Cycles' latest single, "Fortunes Favorite Freestyle," opens a hazy, reflective door, that sounds more like a confession whispered in the dark, where people get lost for days, feel stuck in their own thoughts, and can't stop doing things they don't want to do.
James Cycles doesn't try to make these feelings go away, he leans into them. The result is stories that are raw and unedited, but also very personal and easy to connect with. He speaks in a calm way, as if these words came to him when he was alone, which most people try to ignore.
The song's lyrics walk a fine line between being hard on yourself and knowing who you are. Saying "nobody to blame, only me" is a way to take responsibility, but it also makes him feel strange, as if he's looking down on everything and wondering whether what he sees is happiness or sadness.
