Jack Garratt is pleased to
announce details of a new single, Worry, to be lifted from his
forthcoming debut album, Phase, released on the 19th February through
Island Records.
Worry
is the song that started this incredible journey for Jack Garratt, some
eighteen months ago. It was an undisputed highlight of a self-released
debut EP that Jack put out back in 2014, and it’s long been an
impressive highlight of the young British artist/producer’s live set.
The unveiling of Worry coincides with the news today that Jack has been crowned the winner of the BBC’s Sound of 2016 poll.
It smartly follows Jack being named the BRITS Critics Choice for 2016
at February’s BRIT Awards, and picking up the BBC Introducing Award at
the BBC Awards back in December.
The
constant building and consequent success that Jack enjoyed in the UK
last year was replicated across the globe too. Support slots in the UK
and US with Mumford & Sons were also surrounded by sold-out
dates of Jack’s own in the UK, US, and into Europe. It’s a live show
that has mutated into a spectacle. Performing solo and armed with all
the instruments Jack utilizes on Phase, it’s a breathtaking,
multi-faceted performance that has already translated to far bigger
stages (across the British and US arenas as a support act and at
festivals), for which Jack is surely now destined to head by himself.
Soon
after the debut album is released in February, Jack Garratt will head
out on an eleven date UK/Ireland run, kicking off in Dublin at The
Academy on the 30th March 2016, and concluding at a now sold-out O2
Academy Brixton in London on the 15th April.
