    James Morrison - Power

    James Morrison - Power

    It was a highlight of our lockdown to speak with the wonderful James Morrison. We toured together a couple of years ago and were in awe of his commitment, stage presence and unbelievable voice. On top of that, he’s one of the funniest and most humble artists we’ve had the pleasure to meet. We talk through the art of ‘simple’ songwriting, committing to a record, and his sunshine anthem, ’Power’.
