Ex X-Factor participant James Arthur has been teasing his fans with new music and promised a step away from his more angsty vocals. The singer is set to release new single ‘Pisces’ next month and has been very excited at the idea of sharing his new content.
In a recent interview with Metro Newspaper, the British singer shared: “I am [excited]. It’s not all angsty, typical vocals you’d hear from me. It’s a bit more dreamy and that’s why the ‘Pisces’ name was a good marriage. Being a dreamer links well with the Pisces star sign. I’ve always resonated with my star sign.”
The singer has been looking forward to releasing some new music, especially after being rushed to the hospital back in 2023. The artist was in agony with kidney stones moments after his Pride of Britain Awards performance. Indeed, his latest album, ‘Bittersweet Love’ followed shortly after with single ‘ADHD’, which reflects on how his diagnosis has helped him.
With new single ‘Pisces’, the singer shared: “There’s been many times over the course of my life where I’ve lost the ability to live in the moment or I’ve been in a room full of people yet somehow I still felt alone. We’re always striving for more and we forget to exercise gratitude for the things that we do have or have achieved and therefore we fail to enjoy those special moments. People often tell me I should celebrate more but the truth is I’m not very good at it so I wrote this song about that very thing. I hope it makes you feel something.”
Currently on tour, the singer has big aspirations for his future and would love to play iconic festival Glastonbury. Talking with Female First, he mentioned a few of his favourite performance memories: “Last year I did Wembley and The O2 in the same week, I had a number one album and a sold-out world tour. I did a duet with Kelly Clarkson, who’s a legend. I’ve had a lot of success with a couple of songs, too. I’ve been lucky to play Wembley a few times as part of the Capital Ball but I’d love to headline there. And also get myself in contention for some awards.”
The ‘Impossible’ singer is set to play at Royal Albert Hall for Teenage Cancer Trust 2025 on March 26 alongside names like The Who and Sex Pistol.
