The Awakening

Description

As the title of James Morrison's new album suggests, by far his best, The Awakening reveals an artist in the prime of his life, perfectly mastering his craft. Morrison, who is 26 years old, has matured as a singer, songwriter, and musician, allowing him to channel his emotions into the songs of his new album, undoubtedly the most accomplished to date. "It's as if my first two albums were just practice runs," he says. "Now, I have my degree. In many ways, I feel like this album is my first." His first two albums, Undiscovered (2006) and Songs for You, Truths for Me (2008), may have been practice runs, but they still sold a total of 4.5 million copies and produced ten incredible singles, including "You Give Me Something," "Wonderful World," and the worldwide hit "Broken Strings" featuring Nelly Furtado. These practice runs made Morrison an international star, and The Awakening confirms it!
