James Newman, Brit award winning singer songwriter representing the UK in this year's Eurovision Song Contest, chooses the Tracks of My Years. The contest - postponed last year because of the Covid 19 pandemic - takes place in Rotterdam, The Netherlands on May 22nd where James will be performing his new song 'Embers'. The track was recorded last year and among the co-writers are Tom Hollings and Samuel Brennan who recently scored a big hit with Nathan Evans' sea shanty-inspired 'Wellerman'.
Last year James co-wrote 鈥楳y Last Breath鈥� with acclaimed British songwriters Ed Drewett, Iain James and Adam Argyle which was the song entered by the UK in last year鈥檚 competition before it was postponed. James released his debut EP 鈥楾he Things We Do鈥� in Summer 2020 and ended the year with another new collaboration with Armin Van Buuren, 鈥楽low Lane鈥�.
James won a Brit for British Single of the Year in 2014 for 鈥榃aiting All Night鈥�, which was performed by Rudimental and Ella Eyre. He has also written hit singles 鈥楲ay It All On Me鈥� performed by Rudimental ft Ed Sheeran, 鈥楤lame鈥� performed by Calvin Harris ft. John Newman, and 鈥楾herapy, performed by Armin Van Buuren and James Newman.
Ken will be in his Eurovision commentary booth on the night of the final bringing you all the details of this much-loved song contest right here on Radio 2.
The next two tracks James has chosen come Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers and Rudimental featuring John Newman. There's also the daily love song, record and album of the week plus PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
