James Arthur's single 'Celebrate'
James is just a couple of months away from the release of his sixth album 'Pisces', which features his latest single 'Celebrate', which he opened up about. He explained that he wrote the song because he's not very good at celebrating.
He explained: "Even when I've had really amazing things happen to me, like Number 1s and things like that, I'm just like... Maybe there's a bit of like not feeling deserving of it or something? I don't know. It became quite apparent after a few songs, songs like 'Celebrate' that I was like maybe making the more sort of personal record."
James Arthur's album 'Pisces'
James went on to explain how his album 'Pisces' came about saying: "When you look into the characteristics of a Pisces, typically they're very creative, sensitive, dreamy... Dreamers, like essentially, so I thought well, that could be the kind of yard stick for all of the songs. As long as they feel like me, what it feels like to be me, then they'll make the cut."
