TOMMY LEE JAMES ANNOUCES DEEPLY PERSONAL NEW ALBUM: UNDISCOVERED SESSIONS
The six-song collection marks a defining chapter in James’ storied career. Written in the wake of his wife’s breast cancer diagnosis and ultimate recovery, The Undiscovered Sessions is a meditation on love, fear, healing, and the quiet discoveries that emerge from life’s most difficult seasons.
“After the initial shock and helplessness of hearing those words, I realized no matter how much love and support I could give, she was the one walking through it,” says James. “With her encouragement, I turned to the one outlet that’s always been there for me—music. Writing these songs helped me heal, and through them, I discovered parts of myself I didn’t know existed.”
Far from a project rooted in sorrow, The Undiscovered Sessions shines with hope and authenticity. The title reflects James’ creative journey: not the discovery of something lost, but the unearthing of something within. Each song offers a glimpse into the resilience of love and the power of art to transform pain into purpose.
About
Tommy Lee James has spent a career hiding in plain sight—one of those rare writers whose fingerprints are all over modern radio, even when his name isn’t. His songs have been recorded by an A-list that reads like a cross-format map of the last decade: Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Taylor Swift, One Direction, Kenny Chesney, Reba McEntire, Celine Dion, Robin Schulz, and more. With nine Billboard and Mediabase #1 hits in country and a catalog that’s traveled effortlessly from Nashville to Berlin to the global pop-dance circuit, James has built a reputation as a multi-genre craftsman who can land a hook, break your heart, and still leave room for the beat drop.
His worldwide impact detonated in 2014 with Lost Frequencies’ “Are You With Me,” a song that went Diamond in Germany and hit #1 in 18 countries—the kind of international smash that turns a songwriter into a quiet institution. In 2020, James co-wrote “Nobody But You” (Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani), a multi-week Billboard Country #1 that crossed into pop culture and even landed on the Grammy stage. He also notched two cuts on Fearless (Taylor’s Version), including the From The Vault track “Don’t You,” while continuing to stack collaborations across dance and pop with artists like Robin Schulz, David Guetta & MORTEN, Armin van Buuren, Matoma, MK & Burns, Oliver Heldens, and Kygo—alongside career-defining moments with Tim McGraw, Brooks & Dunn, Joe Walsh, and others. It’s a résumé built on range, but held together by one constant: emotional precision.
Now, James is stepping forward as an artist with The Undiscovered Sessions, a deeply personal six-song collection arriving January 7, 2026. Written in the wake of his wife’s breast cancer diagnosis—and shaped by her recovery—the project isn’t an exercise in darkness; it’s a record about what love sounds like when it’s tested, what fear does to silence, and what healing feels like when it finally starts to take hold. These songs were born from a 12-song journey James began in 2024, with six tracks forming the core of this release: not a greatest-hits victory lap, but the sound of a storyteller rediscovering his own humanity.
“After all this time
You would think I could read your mind
Don’t think I’ll ever see
The parts of you you’ve buried deep
But it only makes me want you more honey”
~ Tommy lee James
