The Amp recently had the opportunity to interview artist James Steinle and his producer, Scott Davis, on his upcoming album, Cold German Mornings, out on December 11th. His thrid release of 2020, Cold German Mornings is an album that you can’t just listen to once and walk away knowing the intent behind each song. It’s deep, it’s involved and it’s a record that should be listened to as a whole, the way Steinle intended it. Steinle is one of those artists that has the feel of an old soul, wise beyond his years and wholly underappreciated for the quality of work he’s putting out.

1. Let’s talk about your newest album, Cold German Mornings. You say it’s an album that you’ve been writing in your head since you could walk, but what was it about this year that made you finally sit down and actually write it all out? Was there something significant that took place? Or was it the fact that this year has left everyone with a bit more time on their hands to pursue projects that they might not otherwise have completed?
