“OFF THE GRID” BY JAMES THE SEVENTH EXALTS THE JOYS OF LOW-KEY DRINKING AT HOME

Self-taught musician, singer, songwriter, and producer James The Seventh, on her new single, plaintively intones she wants to stay in and drink rather than go out clubbing to avoid the “melodrama.” The artist portrays herself in the song and her love interest/male counterpart, who seems to be raring to get there and party like a rockstar. Poor James The Seventh sings she needs her “beauty sleep” and “rest.” “Off The Grid” is escapist, droll fun with a pop edge. James The Seventh takes her musical inspiration from Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, and Fiona Apple, among many influences.
