James Arthur releases new song and announces UK and Ireland arena tour

Prior to the release of his third album You on October 18, James Arthur shares another single from the record. New song 'Treehouse' also comes with the announcement of an UK and Ireland arena tour set for March of next year.

'Treehouse' is a collaboration with rappers Ty Dolla $ign and Shotty Horroh. With its piano and beats, the song has its roots in retro hip hop, and is a feel-good ode to survival and accepting that, some days, it's okay not to be okay, because it's what comes after that matters.

The track is taken from Arthur's upcoming album You, which also features other hit singles such as 'Naked' and 'Falling Like The Stars' as well as collaborations with Blink 182's Travis Barker and Taking Back Sunday's Adam Lazzara. His third effort "finds the global star at both his boldest and most promiscuous, with hard-hitting lyrics, a restless rifle through musical styles and the searing vocals of someone with plenty to get off their chest".
