"James Arthur has said that he believes his creativity was hindered while making his debut album. The 25-year-old &amp;#039;Impossible&amp;#039; singer, who won the ninth series of The X Factor last year, revealed that being forced to work with several different producers meant that he could not &amp;quot;build up a rapport&amp;quot; with collaborators.  Speaking at a signing at HMV Oxford Street yesterday (November 4), Arthur said: &amp;quot;There are a lot of people that it&amp;#039;s mandatory that you have to work with. &amp;quot;I worked with several producers in America and several here, and for my next record I certainly won&amp;#039;t be doing that. It&amp;#039;s not conducive to being creative; it takes a couple of days to build up a rapport with a producer and then after that you&amp;#039;re on to the next one. &amp;quot;That f**ks up your creativity, so that&amp;#039;s the only hindrance I&amp;#039;ve had on this record. But I knew there was going to be a lot of fathers on this record, but it&amp;#039;s my debut. Next time I want to only work with one or two producers.&amp;quot; Arthur, who has worked with Naughty Boy and Labrinth, also revealed that he is still &amp;quot;developing&amp;quot; his style of music.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m still developing my sound as a major label artist,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I had a style before I was signed, but now I&amp;#039;m developing my commercial sound as well as trying to strike a balance between authentic music and music that the masses will love. I&amp;#039;ll be really interested to hear how it&amp;#039;s received.&amp;quot; The singer revealed as well that he has been working all year on the album. &amp;quot;It was recorded throughout the year, almost every day I was in sessions,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;If I wasn&amp;#039;t in the studio, I was doing a festival or doing some promo.&amp;quot;      Adding that he is &amp;quot;relieved&amp;quot; that the album is out, he said he &amp;quot;would have liked to bring out the album sooner if possible&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;If I could, I&amp;#039;d have put three albums out this year,&amp;quot; continued Arthur, who recently said it was &amp;quot;hard to avoid the hate&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve got that much material. But thanks to the success of &amp;#039;Impossible&amp;#039;, I haven&amp;#039;t had to rush my album and I feel like we&amp;#039;ve got a better album than we would have done without that. Hopefully people will appreciate that more than getting a quick fix. &amp;quot;I see this as the first step to becoming a fully developed recording artist rather than a defining moment.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
