A British singer-songwriter whose direct songs like 'Another Love' found a wide audience.
For a sense of his style, 'Another Love' and 'Can't Pretend' frame it well. They're just piano, voice, and plainspoken feeling.
His 2013 single 'Another Love' became a hit in the UK and beyond, built on piano-driven arrangements and straightforward emotional lyrics. He's spoken openly about depression and anxiety, which made songs like 'Heal' and 'Can't Pretend' feel relatable to listeners. That unadorned style, heard on tracks like 'Grow Old With Me,' has defined his work across albums from 'Long Way Down' to 'Monsters.'
He started writing songs early, influenced by Jeff Buckley and Bob Dylan. After his debut 'Long Way Down' in 2013, he's put out albums every few years, including 'Wrong Crowd' and 'Jubilee Road,' without much shift in his basic approach. His band has included musicians like Sam Baker on guitar.
