New GH out in May with a couple of new songs:



Interesting that Switch It On has been skipped, I would have thought he would rather write out the Gareth duet if anything. also only a song apiece from the last two albums - I'm not surprised in the case of the covers set but thought My Love might be included.

The rarities disc is pretty much 'Will at BBC Radio 2'.
 
New single:



Will sounds a bit disinterested.

In unrelated news this Android Spotify bug with the player not showing is really fucking annoying.
 
I thought GH had really had their day with streaming, but the Little Mix GH has done the business, hasn't it?

I've said it before... GH can get the stream points from the big hits, so they're back as a chart force anyway. Most the chart is GH these days.
 
I've just checked. Enimem, Fleetwood Mac, The Weeknd, Little Mix, Elton John, Foo Fighters, Queen, ABBA, Wanted, Oasis, Micheal Jackson, Beatles, Bob Marley, Whitney and Maroon 5 all have top 40 GH this week.

this sounds like a resurrected demo they couldn't be bothered to finish. not bad, but quite cheap.

Spotify autoplayed Losing Myself after - WHAT A SONG
 
also this one. that chorus is magical

(it's Ground Running if Spotify is still spazzing)

The song sounds nice enough but I agree his voice is barely there.

While I do think a third greatest hits from our Will is a bit MUCH, I’m very much on board with the GH comeback trail. Especially for times like Christmas charts which was staring to look a bit naked without a stack of big hitter collections. Plus it might get some classic artists out the woodwork to dust off some of their archives to put out an updated one. Bring it on.
 
I really like this new song! I wonder if the digital release might have some of the omissions? Hoping it’s the radio version of Friday’s Child rather than the meandering 8 min version?

Yes it is the edit of Friday's Child.

Oddly the album isn't prominently displayed on his Spotify page but this playlist which tacks on the missing singles after the acoustic tracks and live covers is:



Speaking of bonus tracks, the demo of Jealousy is quite interesting.

As much as I am in favour of Will in singing over synths mode the other new song on the album (Breaking Free) again sounds like a bit of an unfinished leftover. The vocal is a tad too polite as well - though I think I already prefer it to Why Does It Hurt.
 
It's all a bit half arsed in terms of promo, isn't it? And he's usually happy to turn up to anything. The package isn't very enticing for me (I can definitely live without the live tracks) but I'll give the new songs and the demos a go.
