Finding another influence through Northern Soul. When he was 14 he began to get even more creative and would write his own songs while playing the guitar eventually leading to his ability to produce and record, most notably house tracks.

Shortly after moving to Leeds, two of John's best friends sadly died after being in a car crash. This hurt John and music kept him going. While in Leeds he developed his voice and style while finding those with similar interests who matured his musical instruments.

Live reviews

Referred to as the male version of Adele (and not to be confused with Sam Smith,) John Newman is certainly not a performer to be missed. As flattering as the comparisons are though, John Newman is his own artist. His voice cannot be matched in its definitive tones and runs that he is capable of achieving.
As an avid follower of up and coming artists, I came upon John Newman by chance. I first encountered his now quite popular song "Love Me Again" in a new music playlist and immediately labeled it as one of my favorites. The song was so epic and hard-hitting with the impressive vocals as well as phenomenal composition, which I soon found out is common throughout his music. Every time he released a music video, I ended up having it on replay for the following week. And when I first heard his single playing on the radio, I began jumping up and down with joy to the dismay of the people around me. Naturally, I jumped at the opportunity to see John live in concert when I found out he was playing a show in my city.
Recordings and videos of live performances do not do justice to experiencing the real thing. I had watched countless behind the scenes videos of how John created his album and the tremendous amount of effort he put into it - how he attended to every detail of his tracks. Let me tell you, his efforts were well worth it. A person finds himself getting lost in the emotion and passion presented by Newman's voice. Combined with fantastic instrumentals, the results are enticing in an anthemic fashion.
John Newman definitely puts on a show to please the senses. His live band dresses sharply in addition to playing on point. Newman himself is consistently classy in appearance. The dance moves that Newman pulls on stage, especially in regard to his feet, are memorable in themselves. It can be clearly seen how much he enjoys performing and connecting to his audience. He takes command without a sweat (figuratively, not literally...he gets around on that stage) and easily took the crowd's energy up and down in accordance with the palpable atmosphere created by each song. Whether you know one song or twenty songs, you are guaranteed to end up singing along all of the time.
