November 1st 2006 05:28
James Morrison (born James Morrison Catchpole in 1984) is a singer/songwriter from Rugby, Warwickshire, England. He says that his musical influences include Al Green, Otis Redding, Cat Stevens and the Kinks.
At 13 Morrison began to learn guitar when his uncle showed him how to play a blues riff. He started busking when he lived at Porth near Newquay, in Cornwall. After years of playing other musicians' songs, he eventually started to write his own. Polydor Productions signed him and he was the supporting artist for Corinne Bailey Rae on her tour supporting her debut album.
Morrison released his first album, Undiscovered on July 31st, 2006, and it topped the UK album charts in its first week of release.
Morrison's debut single off Undiscoverd is You Give Me Something. It made #5 in the UK, #1 in New Zealand and debuted at #8 on the Australian charts last week. Morrison says the song was intended to be a 'harsh love song', and the lyrics mean that the protagonist of the song does not love the person as much as she loves him, but is willing to give the relationship a try. The music video is below.
