James Morrison argues in his "The Awakening" tour in Munich 03.19.2012 HaltAm is the British singer James Morrison, a guest at the Munich Muffathalle. On the current tour, he also presents songs from his new album "The Awakening". But what surprised some observers by James Morrison speaks in this work by an "aging process". But how can someone who is in his career already sold 4.5 million albums worldwide and numerous number one hits landed - talk of another "aging process" - to be among the classics avanciertes "You Give Me Something"? How will it go further up, if you're already at the top?
James Morrison can answer these questions. Even slightly. Because of the slight, almost frail-looking man with this incredibly smoky soul voice was in his breakthrough in 2006, until tender age of 21. A youngster who has seen more lows than highs so far: Raised in the British province town of Rugby, the middle of three children, his father was an alcoholic and left the family when James was a child. It was followed by procession to move and job opportunities to job opportunity. Barely 20 years old, John Morrison's life changes abruptly within a few months then. Perhaps there are even weeks, making the former a globally acclaimed singer car washer. No wonder his debut album "Undiscovered" simply has all the ingredients to stand out from the crowd of new publications. Meters wide! This is ensured by soulful, groovy songs, superb melodies, instrumentation and casual - above all - this incredible voice. Similarly, rough and gentle, she tells of a man who has seen a lot and lived through - despite his youth.
His first hit, "You Give Me Something," not only touched millions of people worldwide. It succeeded so well as James Morrison at first, to develop a vocal Unverwechelbarkeit. The way he sings just one: James Morrison. What follows is the famous "rags to (plates) Millionaire" story: A lot of top hits ("Wonderful World," "You Make It Real"), a second, also very successful album ("Songs For You, Truths For Me "), a hit duet with Nelly Furtado (" Broken Strings "), joint shows with Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen and - logically - lots of awards (including the BRIT Award).
James Morrison argues in his "The Awakening" tour stop in Munich, James Morrison could now easily do so on. Quick push in one album and a few hits and go on tour again. But the thoughtful Briton has chosen the opposite: He has made himself scarce, and inserted a three-year album break. An important but not an easy time. For one thing, James Morrison became father of a daughter - on the other hand, his own father died: two emotional poles, has found an outlet for the musicians - the songs from his new album "The Awakening".
"The first two albums were more trial balloons," he says, "I'm more mature now. For me it's somehow even my first real album. "So much for the maturation of a world star. Who listens to the tracks from the new album produced by Bernard Butler can only agree with him. Titles like the single "I Will not Let You Go," the soulful "Right By Your Side" reckless, the extremely danceable "Slave To The Music" or the soul ballad "Up" (a duet with Jessie- partner) show the charismatic artist at the peak of his abilities.
"My last album was too much 'pop' to 'warm,'" he says self-critical, "it went in the wrong direction. If I had done so on, I had somehow lost myself. And I did not want to. "Is quite different so the approach to" The Awakening ". In this musical awakening experience he had thought a moment of hits and success. "I did not create the pressure to sing those high notes noisy, but just had fun during the recordings."
