James Arthur has released the title track of his new album.
With 'Bitter Sweet Love' set to arrive on January 26, the song finds the Middlesbrough singer-songwriter showing off the more poppy, funk-rock side to his sound.
Penned alongside Steve Solomon, who co-wrote Arthur's 2016 hit Say You Won't Let Go, it was one of the first tracks written for the follow-up to 2021's 'It'll All Make Sense In The End'. Arthur said:
"I love that it mashes up so many styles. It goes from an almost The 1975-like groove to a Kings of Leon-esque pre chorus, then back to funky groove. It’s been one of my favourites from the moment I wrote it. It’s about someone who has a hold on you, but whose presence in your life fucks you up. You’re maybe drawn to them for how they look, despite how they play with your head."
The 35-year-old will support the record with the Bitter Sweet Love Tour across the UK and Ireland in the spring, following a European run earlier in the year.
He'll also play a huge homecoming concert at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium on June 8, with special guests McFly and Lauran Hibberd, ahead of outdoor UK and Ireland shows later in the summer. Tickets for all dates are on sale now.
