Take It Back live in Boston yesterday. I wrote this song back in 2013 in Venice Beach. I was renting a place there with @jmd_snowpatrol making Multiply. I always wrote multi syllable rhyme schemes in my notes and slowly put verses together at that time and this was written over the course of 2013 and then put together one morning in LA. It’s become a fan fav at gigs but I hadn’t played it since 2017 til this week. I loved playing it, lemme know what video of a Multiply song you want next !

I wanted fans to all come to this special first pop up Old Phone pub gig to all be there for the same reason, and emotionally connected. I wanted everyone in that room to have felt the same feelings of nostalgia, longing, joy and sadness I had felt from going through my old phone. I asked all of them to submit a video, a photo or a message from their old phone that meant a lot to them to get into the gig that night, and we all shared in a night of music, dancing, laughing and tears. It was really magical, maybe my favourite music video I’ve ever made. Shout out to @emilnava for making my dream happen, all the amazing people who built the Old Phone pub for one night only in Ipswich MA, and of course, all the wonderful people of Ipswich MA who made us feel so welcome that day. The music video is out now, enjoy. More to come x
Brought the Old Phone for a homecoming show in Ipswich today. Thank you to @fishclawband for rocking it with me and for everyone who came down. Old Phone out now x
Hey guys. Something incredibly exciting to announce. One of the first ever concerts I went to as a kid was at Ipswich Town Portman Road to see Elton John. James Blunt opened for him, and I got so obsessed with James’ music, it really shaped me as a singer songwriter from then on. I started doing shows around ipswich as a young teenager, in pubs and bars, then moved to London to ‘make it’ because that’s what you did back then. Then things took off for me and I toured the world, but never ended up playing ipswich really, for whatever reason, but mostly because I lived there and thought if I’m gonna do it, it has to be special. I wanted to play Portman Road in 2019 when we finished the Divide tour, but because of the football season we ended up playing the big park. It’s always been such a dream to play Portman Road that I kept badgering the @ipswichtown team, but because I tour so much and football is very rigid in their schedule I always missed the opportunity to play it. Fast forward to now, having become an investor in Ipswich Town, I got a bit more sway and asked if I could launch my new record there, as a one off weekend of shows, and they agreed. I play all around the world, in such amazing stadiums, but nothing means as much as this one here. This really is a true home coming, and is 3 nights only. It’ll be such a special weekend of shows, with a killer line up (shout out @jamesblunt for coming back and completing the circle). If you wanna get early access to tickets, pre order Play from my official store by 3pm BST on Tuesday 6th of may. Presale begins 10am BST Wednesday 7th of may, and general sale is 10am BST Friday 9th of May. These tickets will go very, very quickly so please make sure you sign up early if you wanna come. I can’t wait to do these shows, It’ll be a weekend i’ll remember for the rest of my life. See you there gang x
Play was an album that was made as a direct response to the darkest period of my life. Coming out of all of that I just wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in the countries I was touring. I made this record all over the world, finished it in Goa, India, and had some of the most fun, explorative creative days of my life. It’s a real rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish, it encapsulates everything that I love about music, and the fun in it, but also where I am in life as a human, a partner, a father. Going into this album campaign I said to myself ‘I just want everything I do to be fun and playful’ - so that’s why we are building pubs for folk jams, doing gigs on open top busses and singing in pink cowboy hats on bars. The older I get the more I just want to enjoy things, and savour the moments that are mad and chaotic. You can preorder play now, many many more playful things to come before it’s out. Old Phone also out today, go listen x
I wrote Old Phone whilst in India finishing my album. It came by accident, because I was jet lagged and woke up at 2am. Everyone else was asleep, so I thought ‘might as well write a song’ and this was the first idea in my notes. Here’s me singing it on the beach in India shortly after writing it. Old Phone out tomorrow everywhere. Go find your old phone and do a dump of the photos with the Old Phone sound attached, I wanna see pure nostalgia, tag me so I can see it x
Sung my new song Old Phone at the gig with @noahkahanmusic in Nashville last week, what do you lot think?
I got rid of my phone 2015, and moved onto email full time. I just turned my phone off December ‘15 and that was it. When I got sued, the judge ordered me to give up my old devices to the other sides lawyers, to look through messages, emails, voice notes, videos, etc, to see if there’s was anything on there to help their case. In the process, I switched on my old phone. The first message was from my friend @jamaledwards, who had recently passed away. The second was from my ex girlfriend who I hadn’t been in contact with for years. The third was a family member I haven’t spoken to in a decade. And so on. It felt like a time capsule, a time of life that I was in, and living at that time in 2015. Turning it on really spun me out, I found myself scrolling messages and conversations with people who are no longer here. I found myself crying at messages to friends who are now dead, who I won’t get to speak to again. I found old photos of me with people I was so close to then, but we’ve lost touch since. The whole experience was such an emotional journey. I wrote the song Old Phone on my own at 2am whilst jet lagged in India finishing the album, and recorded it that morning. It feels like a song that should’ve been on my debut album, but also a song I couldn’t have written until I experienced real life things happening to me. It makes me emotional to sing, I hope it finds some emotion in you too. Maybe it makes you switch on your old phone and have a look at where you were a decade ago too. Whatever it does, I’m glad I wrote it. Old Phone, out Thursday 11am EDT / 4pm BST x
