Video: Jahmene Douglas: In the Arms of the Angel (acoustic) video exclusive Douglas explains: "I know I seem shy, but singing was my therapy, my outlet, my release. It was how I could be just me. First of all it would be singing to Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley. Just singing at the top of my voice. It's a way of zoning out and making you strong. The singing became my sanctuary when I was growing up. Jahmene has always related to great voices because his own great voice was always his creative outlet. For a lot of the time I was home schooled. I would draw, and write poetry. I like whatever I could do to be creative but singing was my thing, it kept me calm. His first album is a collection of songs that he has reinterpreted with his own soul. Just hearing it you almost don't have to ask which singer has influenced him most. It would have to be Whitney Houston. Her interpretation was always incredible. She knew when to make it big. She knew when to make it small. I also love Stevie Wonder and Luther Vandross." said Douglas. Appearing on Love Never Fails alongside Jahmene is his X Factor mentor Nicole Scherzinger, performing the song they sang together during the final, The Greatest Love Of All. Douglas added: "Nicole knew this would be one of my favourite songs, and when she sang it with me on the final it was like singing with my big sister. She's so incredibly talented. This song and Nicole ooze class. To celebrate the release of his debut album, Love Never Fails, Jahmene is set to perform a one-off concert at St James's Piccadilly in London on Thursday 18 July. The London Community Gospel Choir will be joining him on stage along with a five-piece band. Jahmene will also be making appearances at various Asda stores throughout the UK, where he worked before finding fame on The X Factor. Love Never Fails is out on RCA Records on July 22.
