James Artissen Invites You To, "See It My Way"

Coming together to emphasize Black History Month rightfully, American singer-songwriter James Artissen teams up with House Dance singer Robin S to release the latest single, “See It My Way.”

Written and produced by James Artissen, Ronell Sessoms, and Robin S, “See It My Way” is the lead single, pulling us into the grooves of this dark, psychedelic, disco-meets-synth-pop track. It’s immediately apparent that the passion of James Artissen exceeds our expectations.

Liveliness in the instrumentation creates a vibrant dynamic between the vocal layers that accompany these magical components. When you tune into the depth of the words professed, you latch onto this anthem that circles around manifestation, self-confidence, and a desire for the best life has to offer. As each note whisks us into this sonic beam of positivity, James Artissen releases his new musical style into the world for the first time.

Playing into his quintessence of uplifting himself and those around him, “See It My Way” radiates Black excellence. Whether it’s Black History Month or any day of the year, this is the pride and hunger we love to see from Black creatives as they raise their voices and share a rich narrative you can’t help but dive into.

This collaboration between you and Robin S resonates with us in such a powerful way. What moment or story inspired you to create such an upbeat record filled with radiance?

I am happy you guys enjoyed the song. This one is very special to me because I wanted to display a positive message in a powerful way that can be translated through dance music. The moral of the song is to outline the features of Manifestation and self-belief in yourself to continue going in life. I have been working with Robin S for some years now, and we are like family. I am blessed and honored to have her a part of this masterpiece we have created.

What was it like working with Robin S to bring "See It My Way" to life? How did this collaboration come to be?

Robin is a sister. We have worked together for quite some time. We created this record about two years ago and wanted to release it at the right time. We both have been through many things in our lives, so music is our therapy.

How long did it take you to write this piece? Could you please share a glimpse of the creative process?

It really didn't take long because we already knew what to say. I remember us being in the studio talking about a situation with someone we both knew, and it made us think about how we needed to rise above all negativity. I gave her the concept for the chorus, in which the vocals needed to match the production's energy. Once I told her that she did two takes, and the rest is history.

Since you've taken on a new style, what similarities and differences have you found in your creative process?

To me, it really isn't about a new style. It's just more creativity that I want to express to my fans. They are growing with me as much as I am growing creatively, which is amazing.

What's next for you?

So many projects are in progress. My debut album, new singles, collaborations, television/film projects, and touring.
