Arthur issued the following tweet yesterday – ‘OK… at last! SO excited to now finally confirm ‘You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You’ is my new single #YNTSLY #LOVE’

The song shares a title with a popular Dean Martin hit, but there has not been confirmation as to whether this is a coincidence or if this is a cover version.

The 25 year old singer from Middlesbrough performed in a number of indie rock bands, and as a solo artist before rising to fame in 2012 after winning the ninth series of talent competition, ‘The X Factor’.  His ‘winners single’, a cover of the Shontelle track, ‘Impossible’ was one of the best-selling singles of 2012, but missed out on the coveted Christmas number one slot to Hillsborough disaster charity Justice Collective’s cover of The Hollies’ classic, ‘He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother’.

Arthur is reported to be working on his debut album, with Labyrinth, and X Factor mentor, Nicole Sherzinger involved in the process.

There will likely be high expectations from X Factor fans for Arthur’s album, after runner-up Jahmene Douglas released his own debut, ‘Love Never Fails‘ consisting entirely of cover versions last month, currently placed at no.2 on the UK music charts.
