Mississippi
Jamal told me, "I love Mississippi. People try to get me to move, but it’s just so peaceful and just so down to earth. I wanted to paint a picture of what I miss and what I’ve come from and that what I do currently in Mississippi that gives me that ease and that peace of mind. And in the song, if you listen closely, you’ll hear how I feel."

8th World Wonder
Kimberley Locke
One of the best pop recordings by any Idol, and I feel somewhat responsible. I made the call to Curb Records to see if they would be interested in signing Kimberley to a recording deal -- and SVP of A&R Bryan Stewart said they were. Bryan then found "8th World Wonder" and the single debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Sales chart.
