About:
Better Luck Tomorrow is Jimmy ValenTime's sophomore album and it shows both his growth as an artist and person. The songs capture the dark side of living the fast life in New York City. Jimmy adds, "The album is about all the different women, who have affected me in the last few years."
The album explores a more mature subject matter than his 2011 debut Life in Amazin Times. Better Luck Tomorrow is about living with the choices you make and learning some things will not change. The album is also about finding the strength to be the best person you can be regardless of circumstance. Jimmy explains “This album is me with all my influences distilled in to my own life. There's a big shift between the two albums, before you could hear me copy my influences like Common or Nas, now you hear me talk about the things that matter to me.”
Lead Single "Bad Decisions" details the way two people react to a causal hook up that leaves the both of them empty. Jimmy explains “I wrote the song for a real person, somebody I was friends with that always seemed to make the wrong choices. She was a sweet girl, but always on the verge of self-destruction. I tried to imagine what cause her to be the way she was.” Spring single "Dancin" (On a Pole) again captured a real moment in Jimmy Valentime's life , using his trademark humor to describe a strip club from a regular guys prospective. Jimmy says the song is “about me going to a strip club and a woman trying to put all her troubles on my shoulder. At a certain point I had to cut her off and be like ‘this isn’t what I came here for"
Jimmy Valentime 2011 single and tribute to Nas "Take It in Blood" gets a remastering and is finally available for sale. Jimmy was able to get the blessing of his idol Nas record label Columbia to clear the record in time for the album. Jimmy adds “It's an honor to include this cover on my album and I feel it lets people see where I came from and who I was inspired by.” “Movin On” originally from The Lost Angel’s debut “Together, We Stand Alone” gets remade as a solo song and chronicles the aftermath of Jimmy’s best friend losing his mother in a car accident.
“The Spectacular Now” is the new single for Better Luck Tomorrow with production by Willie Green who has produced for and worked with Billy Woods and Wiz Khalifa. “The Spectacular Now” is a lyrical exercise as jimmy mocks rappers who can’t rhyme and use gimmicks and social media to get popular. The track is being offer as a free download till May 25th to celebrate the launch of the album.
