E.R., Dua Lipa and Jade Thirlwall. Ahead of his forthcoming album, The Kinky Boots star commented 'it's a song that is inspired by my life and everything I've gone through to get here. When I first put out commercial music in 1997, the industry was not ready for all this Black Boy Joy! But luckily the world has caught up. I could not be more thrilled to entrust this next chapter of my music career to the Island/Republic team'.
