Hot-on-the-heels of announcing his second single ‘Over And Over Again’ - out November 20th - Nathan Sykes, previously a member of chart topping band The Wanted, has unveiled his brand new shoot with Fiasco magazine. Currently taking over the airwaves, Over And Over Again’ is already #17 on the Shazam Top 100 and #7 on its ‘Future Hits’ chart. 

Shot by Eva Salvi, the vibrant shoot sees Nathan in a selection of looks as he speaks on the creation of his new music, his dream collaborations and working with music legends including Diane Warren and Babyface on his much-anticipated debut solo album which will be released next year.

Rolling Stone Magazine’s response to Nathan’s new music was "the young singer's new voice: a more soulful, lounge-y, big band–tinged pop croon that shines.” with The Mirror adding “With booming brass, a modern set and a huge voice, we’re pleasantly surprised by the slick, R&B infused direction Nathan Sykes' highly awaited debut album is taking.”

The feature is out now.  See below for quotes, pics and credits.

On his new single ‘Over And Over Again’…

“I wrote ‘Over and Over Again’ to tell someone how I really feel about them, because I’m really bad at doing it in person” he laughs. “I’m really quite shy most of the time, maybe 80% of the time I lack confidence talking to ‘some’ people.”

On creating his debut album, and working with Babyface and Diane Warren…

“Not only did I have an amazing time collaborating with these artists, I learnt so much from them…for a songwriter, it was the most amazing lesson because it really makes you go deeper into the lyrics of an already deep song…It was a very emotional session”.

On future collaborations…

“I like to surprise people, I think I’d really like to do a collab with a dance producer like a Disclosure…I think it would be a really cool departure”.

After an incredible 2015 which has seen the singer-songwriter top the US Billboard Dance chart with his debut single, embark on a sell out headline UK tour, perform his first US live solo performance on Good Morning America and headline show at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City - which sold out in just 10 minutes - 2016 looks set to be another huge year for Nathan who People magazine named ‘The Voice’ in their recent ‘Ones To Watch’ feature.  This follows his recent appointment as a Celebrity Ambassador for The Prince’s Trust.

It has also recently been announced that Nathan will join Little Mix on their forthcoming arena tour. Commencing in Cardiff in March 2016 ‘The Get Weird Tour’ also includes dates in Newcastle, Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester and two shows at London’s O2 Arena.

Nathan’s new single is out November 20th and the album will be out next year.
