She's the Franck Sinatra of female singers! The voice
I had the great pleasure of seeing Morgan perform a few years ago in a small venue. No electronic voice enhancements like all these pop divas. Her vocals are just as stunningly beautiful as she is.
The fact that no one is mentioning how beautiful she is … is in itself a testament to her voice. 🔥🔥🔥

This point you (Roger) raise is great, and it's why I personally believe Morgan James (and Haley Reinhart) are happy in their music careers. Happy. They are not defined by "the industry"...and love what they do, regardless of labels.
OMG, she's even better than before. How is that possible? Thanks for bringing her in, Scott.
Morgan James. The power of your voice. It's hard to fathom. Thank you, both of you. Simply stunning.
I love it when music is striped back to its basic elements! No clutter of over orchestration, mixing and special effects. Just a great voice and an instrument. No place to hide so talent just flows. Thanks for the special treat!

@dfhowes Yes. I looked at the industry from an attorney's perspective advising my niece. Basically, I concluded that she would have more control, self-direction and potential for profit on lower embedded cost by going independent, and she would not have to do any less work for having obligated herself to a label.

And I actually really hate the original song (bc of how much it was played in the 90's lol), but her and PMJ's version is just epic and I really loved how she played with her voice for that "Barbie" effect and completely looked the part. She is not only a good singer, but an actress on stage, such a cool expressive personality.

Wow, an amazing talent, a voice like flowing honey and one of the most beautiful women on the planet !! Yes, I'm a fan !!
Everything I've seen Scott produce is astounding. I believe he is one of the greatest musicians of our time, and he surrounds himself with only the very best talent! I hope one day to catch Postmodern Jukebox live.
Goose bumps and teary eyes every time I listen to Morgan singing this. Life is better because of you guys!
They are magnificent. Morgan is a goddess.

I'm standing. Thank you.

MJ is beyond beautiful without make up. Her voice is far beyond even that. The record deal dialog is most illuminating. Corporate playlists still control commercial radio which is mercifully dying allowing true artists like Scott and Morgan to emerge on their own.

Love Morgan's, and Scotts, version of "Take Me to Church" PMJ has never disappointed me.
I really really love when she sing "Maps"
GAWD she's a gorgeous creation!
I love what PMJ represents: a return to fundamentals. Top notch musicians actually playing instruments. Wonderful singers not requiring autotune or the need to overwhelm a song. Sophisticated arrangements. It's not about engineering and studio trickery, just old school performance skills. It's sad that this all feels so retro.
I found post modern jukebox because of COVID so I can honestly say COVID has had one positive affect on my life. I love the way they interpret song Morgan's voice is one I won't get tired of hearing!

Morgan sings with a purity that isn't found in other singers. Her voice and her interpretations make the songs better than the originals. Scott Bradlee is an absolute genius in the way he arranges and interprets tunes and then puts the perfect performers together to give them life. I'm assuming that most everyone reading this is aware of PostModern Jukebox but if you're not, you're missing out on an amazing audio and visual experience!

Love the whole PMJ concept, and the talent showcase that it provides for the accompanying musicians and vocalists.
IN addition to her extraordinary talent, she's authentic. I'm a huge fan and I push it out to my FB gang all the time. Love her.
What a lovely rich voice she has! There is a lot of black gospel in it! Wonderful!

Very late to this party, but I can't help but drop a few lines. Take Me To Church is one of the most remarkable vocal performances I heard in years in a pop context. The high risk high reward approach of her is reserved for the best at their craft. Godspeed, this is an absolute joy to listen to.
try not to cry on "Who Wants to Live Forever (Queen)". Morgan James' voice comes from Heaven, I love her
There are no words to properly describe the voice and talent of Morgan James. And Scott’s a pretty decent musician as well!
Morgan James doesn't need a microphone. Her voice fills the void in eternity. Her voice illuminates the darkness. Its hard to leave the celestial plane when the song ends and come back to our mortal plane with our earthly needs and desire's.
Morgan James is simply excellent. She can handle several styles and types of music and do them well. That's the quality of a real musician.

Scott is awesome too, of course, but there's only one Being in the know universe that could have created those pipes... The wood and the strings help accompany Scott, but Morgan is out there with her God given voice, and He was in a really good mood on that day! The fact that she's not burning up the charts just shows that the wrong idiots are still alive and well and in charge in Hollywood! Keep the faith and keep fighting the good fight Miss Morgan!

I've been a PMJ fan for a long time. This is a fascinating, mesmerizing video on so many levels. The stories of the power of staying true to your artistry, and how to make it as an independent artist applies to all the arts. Their backstories are super encouraging and informative. Then listen to the sublime Morgan James slay Scott Bradlee's bluesy rendition of the iconic Guns n' Roses hit, Sweet Child o' Mine. They also do a killer version of a Queen song as well. Highly recommended for repeated listening pleasure and inspiration for all artists!!!!
Wow, I loved every minute of it. Morgan is a true soul singer, and so tastefully accompanied by Scott.
This is the first time I hear, feel and see Morgan James... If just for this reasons someone can fall in love with someone at the first sight, this has been this time.... Morgan you are unreachable, a dream in every sense!
