    José explains, “’Trouble’ is the story of a man trying to love a woman, his world and himself. My hope is that it inspires people to keep strong and enjoy the beauty of their own lives. I wrote it with Marvin ‘Trouble Man’ Gaye in mind – he’s my favorite singer and inspires a lot of my music. A lot of his songs were inspired by jazz and he sang with so much passion and truth. I wanted to sing something that showed a more playful and sensual side to my singing, something with a killer horn section and a sexy bassline. I’m blessed to have Pino Palladino lay down that groove!”

    We are absolutely loving this. What do you think?
