James Arthur's album is "poppy but with an edge" according to Naughty Boy

  • August 16, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

James ArthurQuite good producer Naughty Boy's been working on the James Arthur album and — hold the front page here ladies and gentlemen — he reckons it's "poppy" and "a bit urban".

"It's really cool actually," he told InDemand With Alex James (as quoted here), "it's def­in­itely poppy but with an edge and a bit urban."

This being 2013, the album will also feature a song that in some way involved Emeli Sandé.

"One of the songs that me and Emeli [Sandé] wrote [for him] is like a big orches­tral piece and it has no drums," he explained.

But is it a real album, Naughty, and will it surprise people?

"It's a real album I think a lot of people are going to be surprised with his album."

There you go.
