James Morrison (ft Joss Stone) - My Love Goes On
LCM Song Of The Day: ‘My Love Goes On’ - James Morrison (ft. Joss Stone)
Our featured track today is the brand new single from James Morrison featuring a wonderful anthemic duet with Joss Stone. It’s taken from James’ new album ‘You’re Stronger Than You Think’ set for release on March 8th.
James will be headlining at the O2 SBE, London on March 27th.
James’ five Top 10 singles all rank among the biggest of their era, including the breakthrough smashes ‘You Give Me Something’ and ‘Wonderful World’, plus the huge Nelly Furtado collab ‘Broken Strings’. Fans were enraptured by the beauty of his once-in-a-generation voice as well as the honesty of his immediately relatable songwriting. It made for a devoted following which resulted in two chart-topping albums, 7 million record sales and a BRIT Award.
After four years away from the limelight, he’s now set to return with the album that he’s always wanted to make. ‘You’re Stronger Than You Know’ is a modern British take on a classic soul and Motown, echoing influences such as Van Morrison, Otis Redding, The Band and Dusty Springfield. The power, tenderness and finesse of his vocal can only come from a man who has experienced everything that he’s singing about.
Morrison talks of the songs being warm, honest and raw. It has its darker moments, but the overriding feeling is that it offers a beacon of positivity in a climate of bad news. You wouldn’t guess that they emerged from such a turbulent time in his life. You wouldn’t guess from speaking to him, either. He’s wide-eyed with enthusiasm: straight-talking, passionate and unguarded.
Despite all his accomplishments, James Morrison still has the hunger for more. “I feel like I have to prove myself and to keep getting better,” he concludes. “I don’t think that’ll ever end. So many things have come together – my family, the music sounding the way I want it to, and having the freedom that I’ve always wanted. The stars have aligned and this album has given me a new lease of life.”
