Gavin James's second album Only Ticket Home is set to be released in October, and he's preceded the launch with the announcement that he'll play three dates at the Olympia in April.
One of the most genuine and humble artists in music, Gavin is set to release of his forthcoming sophomore album Only Ticket Home on October 26th. The lead single 'Always' (Mixed by Mark Ralph – Clean Bandit, Jess Glynne, Years and Years, Rudimental) has reached 20 million streams to date and is now platinum in Ireland, and No.1 in Brazil.
Speaking about the album, Gavin says: “I’m so happy to release “Only Ticket Home” to the world on October 26th. I have been on the road constantly since the release of my first record “Bitter Pill” and this new collection of songs are about the whole process of being away from home and the people you love (it’s also about how amazing it was to be on tour and travel around the world for the last 3 years). The album was produced by my buddy Ollie Green, who also co-wrote a lot of the tunes on the album with me. The songs came very quickly after “Always” was written. Everything took shape when that song was finished, and we knew exactly what the sound was going to be for the record. The record as a whole is very far away from “Bitter Pill”, I really wanted to step a bit away from the world of ballads with this one so the majority of the record is fairly upbeat. It’s very much a record of happy sad songs."
Gavin James will play at the Olympia Theatre on April 17 / 18 / 19.
