Buzzing Milwaukee soul phenomenon Felix Ames returns with a soulful new single and video entitled “Mr. Weatherman” out now via Def Jam Recordings. Listen HERE. Watch HERE.
It paves the way for the arrival of the forthcoming Deluxe version of his acclaimed 2023 full-length debut, JENA, coming soon. On the track, a steady beat smolders beneath an evocative guitar line and subtle bass groove. Jazz-y chords echo as he flexes his high register on the heavenly hook, “I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m going fast.” The emotion overflows as he urges, “Mr. Weatherman, tell me something better.” It lands in the wake of a stunning live performance video for “7711.”
Beyond plugs from the likes of VIBE and more, OnMilwaukee noted his “rapid ascent” and highlighted how, “Felix Ames has been turning heads for his string of melodic hits.”
JENA has incited widespread applause, affirming his buzzworthy status. Right out of the gate, WONDERLAND. declared, “Sonically, Felix’s music is derived from the very best of both the old-school fusion soul scene and the contemporary influences of R&B music. ‘Don’t Be Alarmed’ offers a blissful mixture of the two, and does so with a gleaming finish of jazz-inspired instrumentation and a velvet-smooth vocal performance.”
YouKnowIGotSoul hailed it as “a perfect showcase of the singer’s impressive vocal range and dynamic musical abilities.”
Felix Ames quietly asserted himself as a soul maverick in 2022. Reupping old school spirit with 21st century flare, seismic vocals, and sonic fireworks of his own, he piled up millions of streams across “Shoestring,” “SPF,” and “7711.”
Inciting widespread critical acclaim from the likes of Early Rising and more, OnesToWatch raved, “We’re all salivating to see what’s born from Ames’ continued evolution,” and Lyrical Lemonade attested, “Felix Ames is definitely an artist to watch.” Signing to Def Jam Recordings, he’s poised to make a major impact now.
