Arthur continues to expand his sound, evidenced on his third album, 2019’s You, which features visits from American hip-hop artist Ty Dolla $ign and members of Taking Back Sunday and Blink-182.

Both Arthur’s second single, “You’re Nobody ’Til Somebody Loves You”, and his self-titled debut album blasted off to huge success, and it became obvious Arthur was sticking around. Shortly after, Simon Cowell’s Syco label released the single, which became a record-breaking blockbuster and transformed Arthur-24 at the time-into an instant pop star. Arthur’s life was forever altered the following year when he competed on Season 9 of The X Factor, winning with the Shontelle song “Impossible”.
I am eagerly awaiting his CD that will be forthcoming after all the tours (similar to the American Idol tours). All of them are amazing renditions in Jamess own brilliant style. This CD is a compilation of 4 of those songs.

Before he conquered the UK, Arthur-who was born in Middlesbrough in 1988-sang for a series of rock bands from his mid teens into his early 20s, and in 2011 he began operating under his own name, blending pop, soul and hip-hop influences and releasing songs on YouTube and SoundCloud. James Arthur was the victor of the British X Factors ninth season in 2012, winning the public vote with a rendition of Shontelles rousing ballad 'Impossible.' Born in Middlesbrough, England, Arthur had written and performed in various bands since the age of 15, as well as performing solo in pubs and bars in his hometown. I subsequently searched YouTube for Jamess other appearances on X Factor and listened to them all. “And now when all is gone there is nothing to say, and if you’re done with embarrassing me, on your own you can go ahead tell them.” “If you’re done with embarrassing me, on your own you can go ahead tell them” He is challenging her to tell everyone the truth, He know’s she will tell people and wan’t the truth shouted from “ the rooftops“.Ī heartbreak song, A great one with so much emotion in his voice, you can hear the hurt in his voice, he sings with soul.The heavily tatted, broad-shouldered young man brooding on the cover of James Arthur’s first two albums might look more like a bruiser than a crooner, but that combination of grit and sensitivity defines this British pop phenomenon’s soulful singing style. Main Middlesbroug Singer Winner of the X factor 2012. “Thinking all you need is there, building faith on love and words…empty promises will wear, I know.” He thought they would be happy forever and didn’t realize that she wasn’t happy. “Falling out of love is hard, falling for betrayal is worse, broken trust and broken hearts, I know.” He knows he must move on but knows she didn’t love him, He felt he betrayed his trust by lying to him. Possibly felt bad for him, liked this guy but not love, didn’t want to hurt him she realized stringing him along wasn’t any better than breaking his heart later on. “ You have gone and so effortlessly you have won…” The girl didn’t need to move on, She wasn’t in love with him. I was careless, I forgot…I did.” He forgot his mothers advice to not give his heart so easily and was careless. He started the relationship telling her how much he loved her, this made him feel vulnerable as he was giving his heart to her, backed up by “ You were strong and I was not…my illusion, my mistake. My “music video” that I see when I close my eye’s and feel the music, Is a guy being careful, not giving his heart away because his mother told him to be careful, He is in love with a girl he barely knows, but knows it is love, he gives himself to her, tells her he loves her, This is backed up by “I remember years ago someone told me I should take caution when it comes to love…I did.” Having ‘did’ in the past tense to me just backs up the fact that he was careful but he met this girl and fell in love. The track, which was once sidelined for former finalist Cher Lloyd, has been drained of its R&B sassiness and re-worked into a swooping ballad, saved only by Arthurs quivering and gutsy vocal. The original is sung by a woman but James makes the song his own by his vocals, The way he sings it I imagine it being a guy, hurt by his girlfriend. Cant Take My Eyes Off You (X Factor performance) 21: SOS (X Factor performance) 22: One (X Factor performance) 23: The Power of Love (X Factor performance) 24: Impossible: 25: Youre Nobody Til Somebody Love You: 26: Sexy and I Know It (X Factor performance) 27: What Doesnt Kill You (Stronger) 28: No More Drama: 29: Sexy and I Know It: 30. Some people I know say, ”If heartbreak didn’t happen, the music industry would go broke.” In some ways I agree, but music is more than a way for singers to tell the world they got dumped or hurt.
