“Hey Karla (Ka’la)” is the first official single from Nashville artist and storyteller C.M. James and his upcoming album

“Don’t Label Me: I Am A Label. What’s a Genre?”.

​

Built as a playful, feel-good spring and summer record, the song blends country soul, hip-hop energy, and storytelling in a way that reflects the cross-genre vision behind the newly launched C.M. Jaye Music label.

At its heart, “Hey Karla” captures a fun moment of flirtation and spontaneity; the kind of lighthearted, windows-down vibe that feels right at home on warm nights, back roads, and dance floors alike.

​

The single introduces the sound of a project that’s less about fitting into one genre and more about celebrating the freedom of music itself.
