Will Young - 5th studio album "Echoes"

[Loufoque]

He strays too much into dirge territory too often for me, but he's the sort of act I'd always give the benefit of the doubt to because I WANT to like him.

It's a shame that his biggest hits are amongst his worst singles. He's rather like Kylie to the extent that the public have a very fixed idea of what a Will Young single should be, and any deviation from that is met with a cold shoulder. Hopefully this will prove the exception to the rule.

[RobotBoy]

Did RB really come in to slag it off without listening to it? OPEN MINDS, please, OPEN MINDS

Er, I did keep an open mind you old fool. That's why I praised it!

I realised that after I posted

BEAR WITH ME, my Zimmer frame's been playing up today

[Kratz]

He ran right into me a couple of months ago whilst jogging and almost knocked me over. He did apologise profusely.

[VoR]

He doesn't feel like he's had a proper crossover smash in absolutely years, but he's obviously managed to retain a strong core audience so good for him.

I do fear he's probably firmly in Radio 2 territory now, which means his chances of bothering the singles charts are seriously diminished. Did R1 give the singles from his last album any airplay?

[Iguana]

I thought it was okay but not the masterpiece some of y'all seem to be claiming. Maybe I need another listen.

[FetchFugly]

Oh that really is quite marvellous. The final chorus' in particular are glorious.

Yes it does really BUILD. I like it lots on first listen.

[Nathalie Tauziat's Analpony]

I actually really like; not sure whether it has any chance of doing well though. Maybe if he'd released it after Friday's Child then it might have had a chance

I think they playlisted either Changes or Grace very briefly, on the back of his X Factor appearance. But yeah he's very much Radio 2 fodder these days, but they'll push him to the hilt I'm sure.

[Lee]

I was a bit 'what's all the fuss about?' on first listen but it turns out this is AMAZE.

[Alex]

LOVING that.

Lost for words. This is fabulous!

[sewerynsven]

Love Jelaousy ...i am going 2 buy the track..and maybe the album as well!

[Kevin]

Could someone put this in his 10-year anniversary?

[David_5000]

I read all the reaction before listening to the track and was expecting to be disappointed after that build-up. But no, it's really good!

[ZZ]

Nice song. I like the production. Hopefully it can be a hit.

[Kevin]

Is there still no HQ version of this anywhere? When will the video be released?

[funky]

I'm liking that more and more people are acknowledging "History" as the natural segue into this new musical direction. And I'm glad it's had a profound influence on his career, because it absolutely deserves to.

"History" is incredible.

he had plugs ages ago!

[Kevin]

I love the single cover.

[Apocalypt_flyer]

Ok, the single's really rather good. Maybe too low-key to properly catch on with the public but I'm liking the direction its pointing in regarding the album.

Oh and the lead single was co-written by Kish Mauve? Who'd have THUNK?

[lolly]

Doesn't he claim he's only used some sort of medication?

PFFRT

[Apocalypt_flyer]

and whoever gave the album cover their stamp of approval needs a smack. yuck.

[Johnkm]

The single cover is considerably better than the album cover but neither are really all that good.

[Whatevar]

Why does everyone hate the album cover so much? I think it's FINE.

The remixes floating around are incredible. And I usually delete remixes.

Aren't they just! What a tremendous single in every way.

[Donna Winter]

Is that a song about FLATULENCE?

[Mats]

[Christian]

NO THANKS to the REMIXES. I really can't be DOING with them AT ALL these days. Too much other music to brighten my day to make it worth wading through yet another ten minute GENE-O-RAMA remix.

The single sounds MARVELLOUS as it is.

[Slave]

I don't QUITE understand how anyone can like/dislike/feel anything towards the covers. One is a man walking, the other is a man standing still. How is one better than the other?

[Christian]

I think they're both quite GRAND.

[Lee]

They're both GREAT. Also, the older the get the more i'm attracted to him.
