Revolve (Deluxe Edition LP)

The deluxe version features 3 extra tracks. John Newman, one of the major breakthrough artists in the UK in recent years, follows his new Top 5 smash hit single “Come And Get It” with the eagerly awaited release of his brand new second album “Revolve”. The follow up to Newman’s debut “Tribute”, “Revolve” looks set to confirm the Yorkshireman as one of the UK’s most singular talents and consistently successful artists. The success of “Come And Get It” follows John’s recent collaboration with Calvin Harris on the no. 1 Global smash “Blame” which has sold over 4 million worldwide and has been streamed an unbelievable 270 million times. “Blame” gave John his third UK no. 1 single following Rudimental’s “Feel The Love” and his own chart-topping debut ”Love Me Again”. Fans had a chance to hear some of the new songs when the double Brit Award nominee recently performed in front of an audience of 65,000 as special guest on Taylor Swift’s British Summer Time concert in Hyde Park. The following night he was headlining the prestigious European Games Closing Ceremony in a stadium with 50,000 baying fans. Lady Gaga had opened the games two weeks earlier. Revolve feels classic, timeless, but never retro. Opening with an intro featuring Idris Elba, the album was produced by John and recorded in Los Angeles, London and Miami, alongside a crack team of musicians and producers including Greg Kurstin, (Sia, Beyoncé, Ellie Goulding, Katy Perry & Lana Del Ray), the legendary Charlie Wilson from The Gap Band on future smash “Tiring Game”, Jack Splash and Jerry Hey’s brass section (Michael Jackson’s‘ Thriller, Quincy Jones). Revolve was also recorded single by single – an approach John learnt from his friend Calvin Harris. “I remember going out for a cigarette, just after we’d finished recording” remarks Newman, “and I thought to myself, ‘This is very surreal, and I’m in LA and making my second record. I’m actually doing it…’”. At this point it’s worth remembering John Newman is 25 years old and in a very short time he’s gone from being a sensitive kid from a small town in North Yorkshire, to a guy who hops back and forward to Los Angeles and records at Michael Jackson’s old studio.
