Find out singer-songwriter James Morrison's tour dates, plus watch him perform his soulful new single
As well as having one of the biggest selling debut albums of 2006, James Morrison was also the standalone biggest selling British male solo artist of that year.
His debut single ' You Give Me Something' became a huge hit around Europe, Australia, and Japan, charting at number 5 in the UK and number 1 in New Zealand. His debut album, Undiscovered, went to number one in the UK and won him the 2007 Brit Award for Best Male (he was also nominated for Best Single and Best Newcomer).
Two years after his hugely successful debut album, he's now ready to take the charts by force again with a new single 'You Make It Real' and new album.
James may be only 21, but he's already played the V Festival (twice in one day!), the Royal Variety Performance, the Peace One Day concert at the Royal Albert Hall, the Concert for Diana and the more traditional 3 sold-out UK tours.
He's also toured Europe, Australia and Japan and did three separate tours of America, gigging coast to coast. He gave an acoustic rendition of 'You Give Me Something' on national TV on NBC today and performed on Jay Leno's show twice at the host's invitation.
His new album 'Songs for you, Truths for Me' once again showcases his distinctive, raw, soulful style – but takes it to the next level.
James says: "It's less playful, more to the point," he says. "But I haven't consciously gone for a different sound. With me, it always comes down to the lyric, the melody, and the rest flows from that. But I've definitely tapped into my feelings about life more on this album, rather than writing about characters on the bus (Wonderful World), or whatever. I was just letting stuff flow through me."
There is a notable collaboration on this record, a fantastic duet with Nelly Furtado on the epic Broken Strings.
