Mike E James Revisits His Past to Revive Single “Take Me Whole” for Pride Month

Out Gay Singer-Songwriter Mike E James returns with hit song "Take Me Whole" and a fresh perspective that invites anyone who doesn't fit in to accept themselves.

(PRUnderground) May 23rd, 2022

Written from an honest place, Mike E James’ lyrics in his hit song “Take Me Whole” continue to passionately speak to his younger audience about the problems that arise with attachment. With the rise of drag queen culture, Mike asks fans not to limit their entertainment to reality TV. He addresses the consensus that there’s an overwhelming loss of community with a fresh perspective that invites anyone who doesn’t fit the gay status quo to accept themselves.

Mike has garnered attention worldwide and achieved success across different platforms in his decades-long career. His soulful, edgy sound has captivated fans at numerous pride events, festivals, and nightclubs. As the first openly gay singer-songwriter in his teens, Mike received criticism and threats, but he chose to rise above and show younger LGBTQ+ audiences that there’s variety in gay culture and entertainment. His appearance on a televised taping of Good Morning America’s “80s themed” episode and the Oasis Magazine cover show others that they can confidently embrace their true identity. With numerous accolades like the International Bear Horizon Music Award for his album Finding, Mike’s bravery and personal stories allow space for others to express themselves authentically.

Mike worked with guitarist/vocalist Jeremy Blue to revitalize “Take Me Whole”. The release amplifies the original recording with modern instrumentation and a narrative-driven music video by director Marc Hamill (MTV UK) that centers on a flamboyant man who’s upset that his love interest doesn’t fully accept him. By examining the social archetype that the closeted, masculine man represents, Mike invites a deeper conversation on monogamy and sex-focused relationships.

Mike E James will release the folk-pop single with the accompanying music video on all major streaming platforms worldwide on May 28, 2022. The singer-songwriter will be hosting a live event at the Majestic Saloon (Northampton, MA) at 8pm on the 28th to celebrate the release and his birthday.

About Mike E James

When Mike E James initially stepped out as a singer-songwriter in his teens, he was the youngest out gay guy to release a CD (Sociocosmetology). Today, Mike is still a trailblazer in the industry as he raises his voice to show younger LGBTQ+ audiences that there’s variety in gay culture and entertainment. After cutting ties with his former manager and losing his parents, the Connecticut musician returns to extend words of wisdom and a safe place for younger audiences.

Mike has scored many fans and multiple #1 hits with his soulful, edgy sound. Early on, Mike garnered extensive support on college radio and local markets for his Matthew Shepard tribute “Scarecrow” and song “Take Me Whole.” He also appeared on the Oasis Magazine cover and received the International Bear Horizon Music award for his album Finding in 2007. With headline performances at many gay pride events and nightclubs, Mike shed his “boy-next-door” image to embrace his true identity.

Though he experienced bullying for being the only openly gay male at public school, his vulnerability has attracted and connected him to audiences worldwide. In 2011, he appeared on a televised taping of Good Morning America for the “’80s themed” episode to pay homage to one of his influences, Tiffany, and showcase his George Michael-esque vocal range. But, he also has been able to unleash his Melissa Etheridge singer-songwriter/rocker side as host of a local drive-time rock radio show that produces events and commercials that showcase his hometown to a larger audience.

Mike’s music remains relevant to the modern climate with thousands of streams and downloads. His bravery and personal stories allow space for others to express themselves authentically. With a career spanning decades, Mike’s journey comes full circle with his self-titled album on the horizon.
