WHAT IT IS: The soulful, stripped-down singer/songwriter has spent a majority of 2015 on stage, alongside the likes of Sam Smith, Tori Kelly and Kodaline, and was recently featured in American Express’ UNSTAGED: Artists in Residence program. His newest pop-laden single, produced by Fraser T Smith (Sam Smith, Adele) and mixed by Spike Stent (Coldplay, Muse, Massive Attack), offers a glimpse into his much anticipated, debut full-length, which follows his Book of Love EP.
