Med mere end to millioner solgte singler, 800 millioner streams og et platinsælgende debutalbum er Gavin James tilbage med albummet ’Only Ticket Home’, samt tour under samme navn.

Der er gået mere end tre år siden singer-songwriteren fra Dublin, Gavin James, udgav sit debutalbum ’Bitter Pill’. Henover denne årrække har James turneret non-stop rundt i hele verden, både på sin egen headline arena-tour med tusindvis af publikummer, såvel som support til shows med superstjernerne Ed Sheeran og Sam Smith undervejs. Gavin James' samlede antal streams på diverse tjenester nærmer sig hastigt en milliard, hvor gennembrudssinglen ’Nervous’ fra hans platinsælgende debutalbum ’Bitter Pill’ har opnået 200 millioner streams alene på Spotify. Successen har dog ikke givet ham stjernenykker, og han bliver betragtet som en af de mest oprigtige og ydmyg artister inden for musikken.

Nu ser Gavin James frem til udgivelsen af sit andet album, det kommende ’Only Ticket Home’. Opfølgeren til ’Bitter Pill’ udkommer 26. oktober og førstesinglen fra albummet, ’Always’, har allerede opnået 20 millioner streams, samt platin i hjemlandet Irland. ’Only Ticket Home’ touren starter til januar og Gavin vil besøge Pumpehuset 17. februar med det nye materiale i bagagen.

Om denne nye rejse og albummet udtaler Gavin:
“I’m so happy to release “Only Ticket Home” to the world on October 26th. I have been on the road constantly since the release of my first record “Bitter Pill” and this new collection of songs are about the whole process of being away from home and the people you love (it’s also about how amazing it was to be on tour and travel around the world for the last 3 years). The album was produced by my buddy Ollie Green, who also co-wrote a lot of the tunes on the album with me. The songs came very quickly after “Always” was written. Everything took shape when that song was finished, and we knew exactly what the sound was going to be for the record. The record as a whole is very far away from “Bitter Pill”, I really wanted to step a bit away from the world of ballads with this one so the majority of the record is fairly upbeat. It’s very much a record of happy sad songs"
