NEW MUSIC: JOHN NEWMAN | WAITING FOR A LIFETIME

In 2020, British singer-songwriter John Newman announced he was taking a break from the music industry and that he had left his record label and his artist management company. Due to his mental health issues. The singer, songwriter, producer and DJ – who has collaborated with Rudimental, Sigala, Calvin Harris and David Guetta, and returns with a new single titled "Waiting For a Lifetime." “When you’re touring, no matter if a single’s not doing that well or there’s crap going on at home, or you don’t like yourself as a person, it’s not something you actually know,” he said. But when lockdown hit, he said he soon realized that he wasn’t happy. “When that opportunity to run and hide was taken away from me, I realized that I was actually miserable and so not happy with how my career was going,” he admitted. “I realized that I was just running at a thousand miles an hour to try and cover that up. Now, two years on from leaving his label and management and starting to go in a new direction, John is back with ‘Waiting For A Lifetime,’ a song that he says is the embodiment of “releasing the chains and making myself happy, which I realized I’d been waiting so long to be able to do.” This summer, John will be playing a string of DJ sets and creating mixes for fans online as part of his "Below The Decks" series.
