Josh Kumra is a young troubadour with one foot in acoustic singer-songwriting and the other stepping nimbly between R&B, soul and pop.
With his hotly anticipated debut album soon to drop, the next single from the record will be ‘The Answer’, a more melancholic and emotional song than previous output, 'about taking risks and not worrying what people think'.
‘The Answer’ will be released on April 8th, through RCA. His debut album, ‘Good Things Come To Those Who Don’t Wait’ will follow a week later on April 15th.
Josh’s instantly recognizable voice needs no introduction - he hit the ground running when his collaborative debut single, Don’t Go, featuring rapper Wretch 32, reached number 1 in summer 2011, quickly leading to Josh taking to the stages of Glastonbury and V.
It was a first herald of a versatile and deeply talented artist and performer, as much a contemporary of Wretch and Plan B as he is of Ben Howard and Paolo Nutini.
With a trajectory that has seen him fast-track from deepest Swindon via ‘Later with Jools’ to the 02 Arena where last Christmas he performed in front of an audience of 20,000, as well as touring alongside current definers of contemporary UK pop such as Gabrielle Aplin, Lianne La Havas, Labrinth and Delilah throughout 2012, Josh in now ready to step fully into his own much-anticipated limelight with his debut album ‘Good Things Come To Those Who Don’t Wait’.
