DEBUT EUROPEAN HEADLINE TOUR IS UNDERWAY AND HITS LONDON ON JUNE 7TH
The MTV VMA nominee JC Stewart adds to his rising star status and 250 million+ streams by sharing his brand new single ‘Scars’. It follows two big tracks already this year for the pop singer-songwriter: his single ‘Love Like That’, which saw him grace the cover of Spotify’s New Pop UK playlist and pick up Radio 1 Best New Pop airplay, and a feature on the Armin van Buuren / Billen Ted dance hit ‘Come Around Again’. JC joined the two artists to give the song an unforgettable debut at Miami’s Ultra Music Festival, and it exceeded a million streams in just five days. ‘Scars’ is released as JC’s long-awaited European headline tour, The Tour After The Tour That Didn’t Tour, is now underway. It includes his biggest shows to date in both London and Belfast. JC’s instantly relatable, emotionally charged songwriting is given a subtle shift with ‘Scars’. While he usually pours his heart into stories of heartache and break-ups, ‘Scars’ instead celebrates how those challenges have shaped the person he is today.JC’s tenacious, touching vocal powers an affecting summer pop smash which provides a beacon of hope for fans who are struggling with their own battles. As the hook so euphorically expresses, what currently feels insurmountable will one day be just a memory: “I wear my scars and the stories that they’re painting / They hurt like hell, but damn it feels amazing.” Listen HERE. JC says, “‘Scars’ is a song about coming back to life. I wrote it after coming out of a weird time and realising that maybe I was meant to go through it. Maybe all the challenges and hardships are there to make us better and stronger and better equipped to love the people around us. I love the euphoria that this song gives me, and it really lifts me when I’m starting to get down again. I hope it can do the same for other people!” JC wrote ‘Scars’ with its producer Anton Hard and co-writer Linnea Södahl. ‘Scars’ is released alongside a full live band performance video, which provides a tantalising teaser of what to expect from JC’s current tour.
