"It's 3am, I'm calling in to tell you that without you here I'm losing sleep," he sings in his powerful yet gravely tone over militant handclaps and a moody, soul-pop piano line - before making a passionate plea for his lover not to forget about him. We hate to break it to you, John, but global fame doesn't come without difficult compromises. {{Rating|4|5}}<ref>[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/review/a537157/john-newman-losing-sleep-review-powerful-passionate-soul-pop.html John Newman: 'Losing Sleep' review: 'Powerful, passionate soul-pop' - Music Review] - [[Digital Spy]]</ref> |
