    We’ve been following Michael for a few years and are excited to hear new music from him. “There” is a tasty midtempo number that features the beautiful vocals of singer Von James. The song has element of jazz and classic soul, and an infectious sound. Michael tells us, “This is a love song about an enduring love legacy between to hearts that still have the same fire as when they first met. She wants to take her mate somewhere they have never been; to keep the relationship fresh and new. I know it's rare, but it still does exist...especially in this song! I hope you enjoy.”

    We are certainly enjoying this one! Check out “There” below and get reacquainted with Michael J. Calhoun.
