The UK has been popping out pop artists like a Spinshot tennis ball machine on a training court. All with a shared emotional resonance in exploring the quiet complexities of our love lives, yet each carving out their own unique identity. Zoom in on the Warwickshire village of Barford, and you’ll find another fruit of the British pop scene; James TW, who returns to Amsterdam with a fresh set in tow.
From his early days uploading covers on YouTube to touring alongside Shawn Mendes and releasing his debut album “Chapters” on Island Records, James TW has been steadily earning his place in the modern pop landscape. His performance awaits at the Royal Theatre Tuschinski in Amsterdam, on October 30th.
Why the world resonates with “When You Love Someone”
Often compared to artists like James Bay and Ed Sheeran, James TW crafts intimate soundscapes filled with acoustic warmth and introspective lyrics. Whether it’s the gentle strum of a guitar or the soft touch of piano keys, his songs carry a sincere vulnerability. His breakout single back in 2018, “When You Love Someone,” revealed a songwriter capable of translating the complexity of an emotional journey into relatable melodies.
“When You Love Someone” speaks to a deep longing for love and clarity in each one of our lives. In this song, James TW offers a message of comfort in the face of family separation under unprecedentedly honest lyrics that explain change without blame. It’s his quiet strength and emotional simplicity that provide the kind of reassurance people instinctively seek from those they love, making it a profoundly pertinent song to listen to.
Candlelight: Original Sessions

Hosted at the Royal Theatre Tuschinski, Candlelight will present James TW in one of its Originals; a live series known for reimagining contemporary music through classical instrumentation in stunning, hand-picked venues – diligently oriented around the search for an extraordinary musical illusion.
