These four very personal songs are really close to my heart and have carried me through some hard times. The EP deals with themes such as the unnecessary pressures we put ourselves under, struggles with mental health and the power of love to conquer all. The process also reminded me why I love writing and recording and releasing music and made me realise how lucky I am to have this creative outlet\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The October dates follow Newman\u2019s heralded \u201cOut Of The Blue\u201d tour which saw the Brit-nominated artist reconnecting with his audience on an intimate tour of the UK. Following a period of introspection and soul-searching, Newman has experienced a renewed enthusiasm for making music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the last few months John has been writing and recording again with a passion that has produced the three acoustic tracks he dropped over the last month as well as this collaboration with Nina Nesbitt and the other three tracks which make up the EP.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Producers include Red Triangle, The 23rd and Jarly. John has also been putting a documentary together of the Out Of The Blue campervan tour, as well as launching his Fast Food Challenge alongside Keith Lemon online.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">John Newman has written and performed on some of the biggest anthems of the last 6 years ever since bursting onto the scene as the co-writer and voice on Rudimental\u2019s classic &#8216;Feel The Love&#8217;. He quickly followed that number 1 smash with his own debut number 1 single the modern classic &#8216;Love Me Again&#8217;. A third chart topping single, the Calvin Harris worldwide hit &#8216;Blame&#8217; with John on lead vocals followed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since then Newman has travelled the world, headlining some of the most legendary venues and performing on some of the biggest stages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>OCTOBER TOUR <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tues 8 &#8211; Newcastle \/ Newcastle University<br \/>\nWed 9 \u2013 Glasgow Old Fruitmarket<br \/>\nThurs 10 &#8211; Manchester 02 Ritz<br \/>\nSat 12 &#8211; Leeds Beckett Student Union<br \/>\nMon 14- Bristol SWX<br \/>\nTues 15 &#8211; Brighton Concorde 2<br \/>\nWed 16 &#8211; London 02 Shepherd\u2019s Bush Empire<br \/>\nFri 18 &#8211; Keele University<br \/>\nSat 19 &#8211; Coventry Kasbah<br \/>\nSun 20 &#8211; HolmfirthPicturedome<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tickets and further information is available from John Newman&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/johnnewman.co.uk\/live\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can also find John Newman online on <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/johnnewmanmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/johnnewmanmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/johnnewmanmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>.
