The Night Before was released on 19 April, although its follow-up, The Morning After, was released later than expected, on 2 August 2010. Following the release of The Night Before, the band embarked on a UK tour, the Mirrorball Tour, premièring songs from the album. Another UK tour took place in December. Both this tour and the US release of both mini-albums together as a 2-CD set called The Morning After The Night Before.

The new album Hey Ma was released on 7 April 2008, peaking at number 10 on the UK album charts, [7] and a three-week tour to promote the album commenced on 10 April 2008. An arena tour of the UK called "We Are Sound" followed in December, on which two new songs ("Porcupine" and "Look Away") were previewed as tasters for a new studio album. A live album with a selection of songs recorded during the 2008 spring tour was exclusively sold at the merchandise stalls of the "We Are Sound" tour. Live in 2008 was limited to 5000 copies. Though the band had planned to use a different producer for the main sessions, [3] Eno and guitarist/violinist Saul Davies were enlisted to produce most of the recordings.

After being pleasantly surprised by the depth and variety of the James discography, I was floored by the sudden maturation of songwriting the band puts on display with Pleased To Meet You. It's especially surprising given that the release comes so late in their career (their ninth album, fifteen years after their debut). It's tough to peg a specific genre to the album because several are at work and synthesized to great effect. The album manages to be thoughtful without losing its pop sensibility by combining great hooks with full bodied arrangements and song structures.

The band then returned to the studio to begin work on their next album, Millionaires, which was released in October 1999. The album did not reach the phenomenal sales level predicted, but still entered the UK Album charts at number 2, [8] and sold over 150,000 copies.

No Home James!". NME. 10 September 2001. Archived from the original on 2 December 2020 . Retrieved 2 June 2020. On Friday 29 September 2023 the band announced a UK tour in June 2024 in support of their as of yet untitled 18th studio album with Razorlight supporting. A new compilation album, The Collection was released in late 2004, and Seven– The Live Concert (a DVD version of a previously released video) in 2005.

Playlouder's Sarah Bee considered it a "more low-key" affair that was "less brash" than Millionaires. [49] The high moments are "safer and its lows more thoughtful and safe." [49] Though, this "doesn't mean it's not rather good. Cos it is." [49] Andrew Paine of NME considered it the "best James record in a long while and there are some near-inspirational moments." [20] It was a "smartly dressed record" that could make the band "feel at least slightly relevant again. Ultimately, though, there's a more brutal solution to that problem." [20] In a review for The Guardian, Caroline Sullivan wrote that the band "continue their run of mini-symphonies by and for men who don't cringe at terms such as 'birthing partner'."
