Los Angeles’ latest sibling band has debuted its first sampling of sublime soul. The trio going by the name James Davis finds twin sisters Jessika Quynn Reynolds and Erika “Rey” Reynolds teaming up with younger brother Auston James Reynolds on the super-smooth “Better Than You Are,” which was recorded by Auston in his bedroom. The band, which created some buzz with a handful of live shows late last year, started as a collaboration between the twins; Jessika, an actress (“Holiday Heart,” “Destiny,” “Moesha”), and her sister had worked with some A-list producers under the name DAVIIS before Auston joined the fold and they went a different direction. Anyone who’s ever felt a sibling rivalry can relate to “Better Than You” the band says it began during a difficult conversation between the twins, who worked up an acoustic version before Auston added keys, strings, drums and his vocals.
