ABOUT JAMES ARTHUR

With James Arthur, the numbers speak for themselves. Thirty million records sold via three albums, the second, 2016’s Back from The Edge, a Number One, the others (James Arthur, 2013; YOU, 2019) platinum and gold sellers respectively. A collaboration with Sigala, ‘Lasting Lover’, was a Top 10 single and Number One airplay track in the UK. In ‘Train Wreck’, a second album deep cut that, four years on from its release, is an ongoing TikTok viral phenom and a global hit with 310 million streams. And, of course, the ballad that roared. ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’, the global hit that brought the singer-songwriter from Middlesbrough back from the edge, is currently sitting at 1.6 billion streams on Spotify alone, becoming one of the most streamed tracks ever on the platform.

But also with James Arthur: he’s the first to admit that the numbers don’t really speak for themselves. Behind every gig, hit, stat, stream, like and share is a hinterland of hard graft, soul searching, song searching, self-doubt, self-discovery and, finally, now, recovery. You can hear as much in new single ‘Medicine’. The very first song in his very first writing session in lockdown, ‘Medicine’ is an uplifting ode to self, to relationships, to community and connection, and to the healing, restorative powers of love over adversity. It is, you might say, the perfect song for spring 2021. Key lyric: “You come and make me better than I’ve ever been.” “Lockdown forced any couple to look at themselves,” he begins. “It held a mirror up to us all, didn’t it? And my partner was hugely supportive through that whole time. There are some pretty dark lyrics in there: ‘When I’m suicidal, you don’t let me spiral…’ But I had the mindset that this was going to be the best album I’d ever made, to look the best I’d ever looked, and come back and surprise people. I wasn’t going to be held back anymore, have my confidence wrecked, by wondering what people think about me.” “From day one there was a sound that I wanted to go for on this record. Even early on it sounded like a real album, a proper body of work. This is the first time I’ve made an album all in one place and you can hear this in the music. There’s something really comfortable about working in your own home with less people – I was able to be more vulnerable than ever.” And, complimenting his fresh musical direction, Arthur has been co-signed by Columbia UK and Columbia Germany who initially signed him in 2016.

Tips to Balance High School Studies and Your Social Life

Being in high school can make it difficult to achieve a balance between school and your social life.

For instance, you may like to spend more time with friends or you might feel guilty for socializing at all.

Instead of allowing everything to stress you out, you can make life easier with a few helpful tips.

1. Find a Spot to Study

While you might feel like curling up in your comfortable bed to study, this could make you lazy. Having a place to study away from your bedroom can help you stay motivated to do homework and study for tests.

Consider studying at your school library, a computer lab, a public library, a coffee shop, or finding another place for inspiration.

Heading to a library can be a great idea because you’ll have peace and plenty of books. You could even ask a friend or two to join you if you’d rather not be alone.

2. Stay Focused

Worrying about an approaching math test can make it harder to stay focused on enjoying the moment you’re currently in. It can give you anxiety or leave you feeling frustrated.

Rather than worry, try to stay focused on what you’re doing.

For example, by focusing on doing your homework, you’ll be more likely to gain valuable knowledge and improve your grades.

In other words, you’ll get a lot more done and be able to take pleasure in every moment.

Yoga and meditation or breathing exercises are a few ways to calm a restless mind.

3. Create a Schedule

Although having a schedule may seem to hold you back, it can increase your productivity and life satisfaction.

You can use an academic planner or scheduling app to create blocks of time for school, homework, and other tasks you know you need to get done. After this, fill in the remaining blocks with fun extracurricular activities and time with friends.

4. Avoid Procrastination

Procrastination can stop you from achieving your goals and dreams.

Indeed, you could take excessive time while you overthink every detail. At the end of the day, you may realize you could have avoided a bunch of problems if you didn’t digress so much.

By committing to finishing your homework and other deadlines early, you’ll be able to have extra time to have fun.

5. Do Your Best

You might feel the pressure to be perfect. But remember, this feeling only makes matters worse.

Do your best and don’t worry about the results too much. Be kind to yourself and be proud of what you’ve accomplished, little as it may seem.

But if you feel like your best still isn’t enough, consider getting advice for high school students from Writers Per Hour. This company can help you with your homework if you’re struggling with any particular subject and unable to find a good tutor.

6. Seek Support if Necessary

Whether you have a disability or don’t have the slightest idea how to use the latest technology, getting help can be the smartest idea ever.

For starters, you could talk to a career counselor at your school, speak to a teacher, or see a tutor if you’re struggling with homework.

Many teachers would likely be happy to talk with you about your problems.

Conclusion

As a final point, achieving a balance between life and going to high school can be a challenge.

But with a positive mindset and focus on your goals, you can overcome any difficulties. If you need more help, talk to a friend or a family member in times of distress.

How Crypto Can Benefit You

Back in early 2009, the world of online payments was changed forever with the launch of Bitcoin. This was the world’s first cryptocurrency, a currency that’s entirely digital and isn’t regulated by any bank or financial institution. Nowadays, there are thousands of cryptocurrencies, and millions of people around the world use them. If you’re considering using crypto, here’s a summary of how it can benefit you.

Private Transactions

One of the key benefits of crypto is that it lets you make payments online anonymously. You don’t have to reveal personal details when sending or receiving this currency. It’s possible to purchase units of cryptocurrency and use it without your bank or any other organisation knowing about it.

This is useful in a number of industries where customers would prefer to remain anonymous, such as pharmaceuticals, online gaming, and online casino gaming. Many online gamblers prefer cryptocurrency over traditional, regulated currencies because of its privacy. With crypto, you can gamble just about anywhere even in areas where gambling is restricted, such as Kuwait. There are online casinos in Kuwait that are safe to use and offer cryptocurrency as a payment option if you want extra security and anonymity. These casinos also give you access to fantastic bonus offers, such as a $1500 deposit bonus + 150 free spins or a $2500 matched deposit bonus. You can play slots and other casino games as much as you like in complete privacy.

Worthwhile Investment

Cryptocurrencies are volatile. Their value can experience sudden, quite dramatic decreases and increases in value. If you’re looking to invest in some, it’s a good idea to do so when the cost is low. Then, if you want to make some money, sell your crypto when the value has gone up. If you’re going to benefit from changes in value, you’ll have to keep your eye on the markets.

Investing in crypto can be risky. However, if you’re lucky enough, you may be able to make some money from it. Should you make a profit, consider reinvesting it in crypto and seeing if you can make even more money. Remember to only spend money you can afford to lose.

Borderless Payments

With regular currencies and payment methods, there can sometimes be difficulties when making payments to people in other countries. For example, it can take a long time for international payments to be processed, and there may be extra fees.

With crypto, there are no such barriers in place. You’re able to make international payments seamlessly. You won’t get charged extra, and there won’t be any delays. The payments will be just as quick as if you were doing business with someone in the same country.

Fast Transactions

Another benefit of crypto is that transactions are fast. Whether you’re sending or receiving money, you should find that the transaction takes very little time to reach its intended destination. Some payments can be completed in minutes or even seconds. Not all cryptocurrencies are this fast; the time payments take varies from one type of cryptocurrency to the next. Generally speaking, though, they’re a lot quicker than most traditional payment methods.

Easily Accessible

Crypto can also benefit you by being easily accessible. All you need to get some cryptocurrency is a computer with a steady internet connection. If you were to get a bank account, there would be more steps to complete, and you’d have to supply specific documentation – there’s none of that with crypto. It’s, therefore, rapid and easy to get started with this type of currency.

This benefit is particularly relevant for big spenders who want to send large sums of money over the internet. If you’re concerned about making big transactions with crypto, you don’t need to be. Cryptocurrencies are very safe to use. They use cryptography to protect data and ensure that transactions are secure and protected at all times.

No Transaction Limits

There are usually limits when using a traditional payment such as a bank card or e-wallet. These determine the minimum and maximum amounts your transaction amount has to fall between. With crypto, there are no such limits. When sending money to someone else or a merchant, the amount can be as little or as big as you like.

Summary

This is just a brief guide to how crypto can be beneficial. If you’re going to start using it, get plenty of tips to help you navigate the world of digital currencies. Crypto may seem confusing and alien initially, but once you’ve understood the basics, you shouldn’t have any significant problems with it. Many people use and benefit from it – so can you.
