==Background==
Talking to [[Digital Spy]] about the album John said: "I was going through a pretty bad break-up while I was making the album and I felt the title really needed to resonate. This record is a culmination of my life to this point, it's who I am and I wanted to thank everyone who has helped, supported, loved me and been an inspiration to me. I'm so proud of this album, it expresses me as a producer, as a songwriter and an artist, and I can't wait for people to hear it."<ref>[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a522913/john-newman-streams-debut-album-tribute-online-listen.html John Newman streams debut album 'Tribute' online - listen - Music News -] [[Digital Spy]]</ref>

==Critical reception==
Kitty Empire of [[The Observer]] gave ''Tribute'' a positive review stating, "The latest in a long line of 60s revivers, John Newman, who has had two No 1 singles (Rudimental's Feel the Love, his own Love Me Again), lists all his inspirations on the title track of his debut. They should include Plan B. You could easily subtitle this record The Reincarnation of Strickland Banks, if tracks such as Out of My Head weren't quite so autobiographical. On superior cuts such as Cheating, meanwhile, this 23-year-old be-quiffed Yorkshireman looks like continuing his gilded strike rate. But where Plan B or Amy Winehouse, the doyenne of revival pop, always added an element of top spin to their tributes, Newman merely reinterprets well, rather than reinventing."<ref>[http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/oct/13/john-newman-tribute-review John Newman: Tribute – review | Music | The Observer]</ref>

Background

Talking to Digital Spy about the album John said: "I was going through a pretty bad break-up while I was making the album and I felt the title really needed to resonate. This record is a culmination of my life to this point, it's who I am and I wanted to thank everyone who has helped, supported, loved me and been an inspiration to me. I'm so proud of this album, it expresses me as a producer, as a songwriter and an artist, and I can't wait for people to hear it."[1]

They should include Plan B. You could easily subtitle this record The Reincarnation of Strickland Banks, if tracks such as Out of My Head weren't quite so autobiographical.
