JAMES have shared a further track from their forthcoming new album YUMMY. Following the first single, “Is This Love”, and the current single, “Our World”, the new track, LIFE’S A FUCKING MIRACLE, is available now across all platforms, with the album to follow on 12 April via Virgin Music.
Speaking about LAFM, singer Tim Booth says: “The most uplifting track on the album. A celebration of inclusivity because, even with all the dark shit going on in the world that drags us down into a morass of fear and negativity, Life’s A Fucking Miracle.”
James recently announced an exclusive warm-up show at O2 Academy Bournemouth ahead of their biggest-ever UK arena tour in June. The tour includes the new Co-op Live Arena in Manchester and culminates at The O2 in London, the first time the band has played the 20,000-capacity venue.
