JOHN NEWMAN LOSING SLEEP


As you may or may not know,
John Newman is a pretty talented guy when it comes
to music and singing and songwriting.

You would've first heard him on the incredible
dance anthem 'Feel The Love' by those groovy guys at Rudimental,
as well as on their follow up single
'Not Giving In'.

His powerful, soulful, rich, gravelly voice
is one to be reckoned with, and Newman has been hailed
as the purveyor of a certain brand of music
named good old NORTHERN SOUL.
Newman was born and bred in a little town called
Settle in North Yorkshire,
where some of my family happen to reside, so
I feel a bit like I have this super deep connection
with John y'know, because I actually know where he be coming from, yah?
(I'm kidding about the connection thing btw.)

But yes, back to the music,
now this genre is relatively new, and it's all to do
with the wonderful tea loving folk up north embracing the
fantastic genre of soul (with a touch of
Motown) and giving it a new lease of life with a little
Northern twist on the end,
just to spice and shake things up.

And as you may also know,
Newman does Northern soul so very well.
So well in fact, that his debut album 'Tribute'
slid in to the album charts at the sacred numero uno spot,
whilst debut single 'Love Me Again'
also fought off stiff competition to plonk itself
on top of the singles chart as well.

DOUBLE WHAMMY EH EH.
And not an easy feat to manage if you're new onto the music scene.

Newman's newest release is the utterly gorgeous 
'Losing Sleep', which isn't as fast paced as his
previous two singles, but I can assure you it's just as
electric and oozes sweet, rich soul 
that will hit you in just the right spot.

So with that being said, 
metaphorically run like the wind and go check it out!
And whilst you're at it whack
'Tribute' on your Chrimbo list and hopefully
good ol' St Nick might get into the spirit
of Chrimbo and get you a copy,
(that's if he able to resist parting with it).
