Born and raised in San Diego, Trevy James draws from the city’s reggae roots and his own musical lineage his father was a reggae keyboardist to shape a singular sound that spans lovers rock, R&B, and conscious hip-hop. In “(Let Me Tell You ’Bout) What I See,” he channels that heritage into a richly textured declaration of love and hope.
“(Let Me Tell You ’Bout) What I See,” opens with a warm, live-instrument feel, keyboards, gentle percussion, and a soft bass walk as Trevy’s voice enters. It’s clear he’s building something timeless. His delivery is smooth, intimate, and confident, evoking the spirit of ’70s and ’80s soul while never feeling retro for the sake of it.
The lovers rock rhythm lends it a gentle sway, while the vintage R&B chord changes evoke classic soul. There’s harmonic richness that feels inspired by icons like Stevie Wonder or Michael McDonald, but Trevy keeps it rooted in his own emotional narrative. Trevy James makes you believe in it. “(Let Me Tell You ’Bout) What I See” is a deeply felt, soul-forward love letter that is thoughtful, warm, and profoundly human.
