James Arthur's Daughter Shows Love for Rap and Her Dad's Music

Published January 26, 2024

Singer-songwriter James Arthur has shared a sweet revelation about his one-year-old daughter, Emily, who he welcomed into the world in November 2022. Emily appears to have developed an unexpected taste in music, showing particular enthusiasm for the rap genre.

Emily's Rap Preferences

Arthur, who found fame after winning The X Factor at the age of 35, was pleasantly surprised to find out that his baby girl is a fan of rap music. In a radio interview, he mentioned that Emily enjoys bobbing along to the beat of Rick Ross's 'Hustlin'', although he makes sure to skip the explicit verses for her. It's a charming insight that suggests Emily might have a natural inclination toward music, much like her father.

A Father-Daughter Musical Bond

In the same breath, Arthur revealed that Emily is also a fan of his own music. One of his songs, 'A Year Ago' from his latest album 'Bitter Sweet Love', has the magical effect of calming her down when she's upset. This dual musical preference displays a touching bond between the father and his little girl through the power of music.

Arthur's personal attachment to music and its significance in his life are apparent, extending beyond his career to his family life. The number 23, for instance, holds a special meaning for him, influencing his choice of social media handles and even his apparel. He believes this number has brought him good fortune over the years, and interestingly, the year his daughter was born, 2023, has proven to be a joyous one for the family.

Emily's Influence on Arthur's Music

The significance of Emily in Arthur's music was further highlighted when he spoke about a previous song he titled 'Emily'. The song was initially dedicated to an unborn child he and his girlfriend were expecting following an ectopic pregnancy. His partner encouraged him to speak openly about the experience to raise awareness, which he did, sharing their personal story with the public.

Arthur's latest album, 'Bitter Sweet Love', is now available, and it continues to showcase his emotional depth and personal storytelling through his music.
