James album 'YOU' is out now and he told us about the inspiration for his new album, explaining there's a lot of self-reflection. The album is about his fans, so he now encourages them to put their phone lights on, and the production includes mirrors, meaning it's all reflected.

The 'Treehouse' singer also opened up about his Mental Health, saying it's well documented that he's struggled so it's important to, "Step up if you're in the public eye". He went on to explain that although it's hard it's important to talk about it, because it might help someone who is struggling.

James' album 'YOU' is out now and includes his latest single 'Treehouse' which is a collaboration with US superstar rapper Ty Dolla $ign and British rising star Shotty Horroh. And don't forget you can see him live at Hits Live Liverpool.
