Known for his warm brand of R&B-inflected pop, James Arthur initially rose to fame as the victor of the ninth season of the British version of The X Factor in 2012. Buoyed by his competition-winning rendition of the Shontelle ballad “Impossible,” his self-titled debut reached number two in the U.K. He built upon that success with two more Top Five U.K. albums, 2016’s Back from the Edge and 2019’s YOU. – AllMusic

Pisces (stylized in all caps) is the sixth studio album by English singer-songwriter James Arthur, released by Columbia Records on 21 March 2025. His final contractual album with the label, he has expressed interest in taking a hiatus from music and venture into acting.^[1]

In a press release, he said of the album’s sonic approach, “I wanted this album to have a different feel from anything I’ve done before. People expect big, emotional ballads with raspy vocals, but I like to think I’ve got a few strings to my bow. It was as simple as wanting to approach the songs and my vocal delivery in a more gentle way and create dreamy sounds.” – Fandom
