James Arthur rose to fame when he won the X Factor back in 2012. It was then in 2013 that he released his self-titled, debut album. Having left Syco and taken a break from music, he’s set to return with his second album Back From The Edge, lead by this single, ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’.

This song is raw and brimming with emotion – it feels honest and paves the way for a really deep album. Having been through a lot over the past couple of years, I am intrigued to see how it will shape his sound, especially after working with the likes of MOKS on ‘Otherwise‘.

Are you excited to have James Arthur set to return? What do you think of this new, mellower sound? What song would you choose for #MellowMonday? Please leave your thoughts or song choices in a comment below.

#Two4Tunesday: MOKS – ‘Otherwise’ featuring James Arthur & Dappy – ‘Money Can’t Buy’

Matt Wright - Muzik Speaks3 Comments

James Arthur is remembered for his appearance on X Factor and for making several controversial statements, but after some time away from the limelight, he’s looking set to make a return as the featured vocalist of MOKS‘ new track, ‘Otherwise’.

An interesting house track with Arthur’s amazingly haunting vocals and infectious whistles, this song has huge potential! No video has been released yet, but we’ll keep you updated!

‘Otherwise’ is available for download from iTunes right now – https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/otherwise-feat.-james-arthur/id1029927542

MOKS – ‘Otherwise’ featuring James Arthur

Dappy Banner

So by now it might be easy for you to guess that I’m a bit of a Dappy fan, but the guy is a true talent and it should be appreciated just how much he’s achieved and that he’s build himself up from nothing; with grit, determination, passion and his raw talent.

This song is the third release from his upcoming album ‘Miracles’ and once again it is filled with passion, honesty and just plain amazing writing! I’m sure you’ll agree that this is a great song!

‘Money Can’t Buy’ can be downloaded now – https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/money-cant-buy-single/id1036833101
