Nathan Sykes details second solo album, Ultraviolet

The new single follows "Pieces of Me", which heralded Nathan Sykes' comeback, and marked his first solo release in almost ten years.

“‘Getting Lost’ is inspired by the feeling when you’re falling for someone and your brain just … goes places! It’s about embracing the overthinking chaos that happens when love makes your imagination go into overdrive. There’s something so wonderful about letting your mind wander like that, and I wanted to capture that feeling in this track. Musically, I wanted this to feel like summer. I’ve loved making this song feel so carefree and easy to sing along to, with loads of different hooks for everyone to enjoy,” he explains.

“‘Ultraviolet’ represents a new chapter in my journey, and I truly believe it’s the best work I’ve ever created. For the first time, I’ve been able to strip away all outside influences and expectations to embrace who I am as an artist. I believe that when I’ve been writing this album I’ve been at my most authentic and creatively free, and every track feels like a piece of me. I couldn’t be prouder of the journey to releasing this album, as it’s the truest version of myself I’ve ever been able to share. I hope everyone who listens to ‘Ultraviolet’ will approach this album with an open mind, as I look forward to sharing the full album with them later in the year,” Sykes says of the full-length release.

Ultraviolet is the follow-up to 2016’s Unfinished Business. The album has been long in the making; from its beginnings in 2017 going into early 2018, but the project was put on hold following his bandmate Tom Parker’s illness. Instead, The Wanted reunited to celebrate everything they had achieved together.
