I thought of an airplane propeller being spun around."[3] The album features vocals from LeToya Luckett (on "When I Had the Chance"), Mario (on "That Look on Your Face"), Heather Headley (on "I'm Waiting"), and Donell Jones (on "Close to You").[2] It also features Dean Parks on guitar, and Mark Stephens on piano.[2] Two singles were taken from the album, "Contact" and "When I Had the Chance".[1] Reception and chart performanceContact received positive reviews from JazzTimes and Allmusic (Thom Jurek calling it "a bright spot in James' catalog").[2][4]The album reached no. 1 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart, and no. 53 on the Billboard 200.[5][6] Contact was nominated for Best Contemporary Jazz Album at the Soul Train Awards.[7]Track listing{{Track listing| headline = | extra_column = | total_length = | title1 = Contact | length1 = 3:51 | title2 = Close to You | length2 = 4:15 | title3 = Spin | length3 = 4:20 | title4 = When I Had the Chance | length4 = 4:06 | title5 = Cry | length5 = 4:09 | title6 = That Look on Your Face | length6 = 4:48 | title7 = Deep Time | length7 = 4:57 | title8 = I'm Waiting | length8 = 4:13 | title9 = There and Back | length9 = 5:10 | title10 = Everything Matters | length10 = 5:00 }} References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |author=Mitchell, Gail| title=Boney James: Contact Sport | website=Billboard | date=March 28, 2011 | url=https://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/1178645/boney-james-contact-sport | access-date=February 9, 2018}} {{Boney James}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web | last=Soergel | first=Brian | title=Boney James: Contact | website=JazzTimes | date=September 6, 2011 | url=https://jazztimes.com/reviews/albums/boney-james-contact/ | access-date=February 9, 2018}} 3. ^1 Jordan, Mark (2011) "[https://web.archive.org/web/20180210002454/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-30227650.html Life's sweeter for James, his music]", The Commercial Appeal, December 2, 2011.
