JP COOPER RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE “WAITING ON A BLUE SKY”

Singer-songwriter JP Cooper has released his long-awaited new single, “Waiting On A Blue Sky” via Republic Records. Produced by Cam Blackwood (George Ezra), the single marks the Mancunian artist’s first release since his acclaimed second album, 2022’s “She,” and offers a glimpse into his forthcoming third album, due later this year.

On “Waiting On A Blue Sky”, JP reflects on memories of his upbringing in Northern England, a play on the climate of his hometown of Middleton, Manchester. It represents an urge to look for the silver linings, even in difficult times. JP says  “I’ve touched on so many influences here that I’ve been nervous to in the past for fear of it not making the commercial impact that may be expected. However, as this song says, ‘don’t pay no mind to your fear, it’s a lie!’ I’m speaking to my own confidence and starting the whole project with this. I hope it speaks to you too.”

JP Cooper‘s debut album “Raised Under Grey Skies” has sold over 1 million copies, and includes the huge hit “September Song”, which now boasts over 600 million global streams. His debut album is 3x Platinum in the UK, Gold or Platinum certified in 11 other regions, with an incredible 6 billion streams worldwide and counting. As well as hit collaboration “Perfect Strangers” with Jonas Blue, the JP has worked with the likes of Sigala, Kojey Radical, SG Lewis, Gabrielle Aplin, Stefflon Don, Petty Biscuit, as well as Stormzy on “Momma’s Prayers.

This autumn, JP heads out on his 2024 World Tour kicking off in Dallas, Texas in September, performing  music from his acclaimed albums “Raised Under Grey Skies” and “She,” alongside a preview of new music. Dates include stops across America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, including headline shows in New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and London, playing Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith on 7^th November.
