Stream: James Arthur premieres 12-track ‘All The World’s A Stage’ mixtape

Following months of teasing, James Arthur has unveiled his 12-track mixtape/album, All The World’s A Stage.

The collection, Arthur’s first project of all-new material since his self-titled debut album back last year, seems a strong progression from his earlier pre-X Factor work; grittier and adding a more realist-approach to his rapping abilities. Arthur also uses the track-selection to hit back at the various demons that have unfortunately scalded career of late (second track Not guilty in particular responds to the homophobic accusations that frosted the singer-songwriter’s year, with Arthur rapping “Homophobic on a diss track, not guilty”).

Currently little is known in terms of production credits of the mixtape, however we’ll update this post as and when we hear more.
