Jahmene Douglas details Love Never Fails
By Aly Barchi | Published on Monday 3 June 2013
Having made 2012’s ‘X-Factor’ final and signed to Sony’s RCA division back in January, square-haired ex-ASDA staffer Jahmene Douglas is all set to release his very first LP. Okay, I’ll stop patronising him, and move on to its title – a bold claim: ‘Love Never Fails’ – and release date: 22 Jul.
With a first single – Jahmene’s take on David Guetta’s ‘Titanium’ – on its way on the same day, the disc features remakes of Coldplay’s ‘Fix You’, Beyonce’s ‘Halo’, Emeli Sandé’s ‘Next To Me’, and gospel standard ‘His Eye Is On The Sparrow’. Oh, and a duet with his ‘X-Factor’ BFF Nicole Scherzinger on Whitney Houston’s ‘The Greatest Love Of All’.
Jahmene says: “I know I seem shy, but singing was my therapy, my outlet, my release. It was how I could be just me. First of all it would be singing to Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley. Just singing at the top of my voice. It’s a way of zoning out and making you strong. The singing became my sanctuary when I was growing up”.
