James Fauntleroy is kicking off his dirty thirties in the best way he knows how. After unleashing “I Don’t Wanna Be Alone” and “CPR” earlier this year, the stellar songwriter is completing his mysterious String Theory Acoustic EP with a brand new song entitled “Understand.” Having lent his impeccable songwriting talents to the likes of Beyoncé, Brandy, Drake, Justin Timberlake and J. Cole in the past, the California native finds himself penning a private letter where he begins apologizing for love crimes that he has yet to commit. “It’s hard to say I’m sorry/The old me is done here and off to another life,” he croons. Not only has the young sensei perfected his penmanship, but he has also found his own niche and this effort makes it very clear that he has something special to offer. While you can hear all of String Theory Acoustic for free on SoundCloud, Fauntleroy has requested that you show love and purchase this refreshing batch of material off of his newly-launched website and help him celebrate his 30th birthday.
