Love Me For The 1st Time: John Newman makes his US debut in January @ Brighton Music Hall

A while back in V:Mvsic we hipped you to Next Big Thing John Newman and his Fred Perry orgy of a video for “Love Me Again.” Well, finally the ready-to-explode UK soul singer is crossing the Atlantic and showing us what’s up.

And his stateside debut will be in Boston, when he plays Brighton Music Hall on January 6. Tickets go on sale Friday. Get them ASAP.

Newman will be hyping the Us release of his Love Me Again EP, which dropped October 15 via Republic Records.

Here’s what we said a few weeks ago:

Next up on the UK’s current Future Superstar conveyor belt is the pop soul sounds of Settle’s John Newman. His video for “Love Me Again” is a Fred Perry fashion orgasm — and the song’s not half-bad either. The 23-year-old signed his first record deal with Island three years ago, before he could even drink legally here in the States, and his self-titled debut drops Oct 7 on Island/Universal with the Love Me Again EP out a week later on this side of the Atlantic. This will be the artist you can talk with your cool Aunt about during Thanksgiving dinner.
