They're finally back then, following the stalling of 'Wait On Me' last November. Their debut album 'Let the Road' will finally be released here on 8th June according to Digital Spy: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a641344/rixton-announce-new-single-we-all-want-the-same-thing-album-release.html

I really liked 'Me and My Broken Heart' so I'm really surprised by how stunted their campaign has been here on the label's part. Maybe it's because they're that weird anomaly that happens every so often when a UK act is a bigger deal across the pond than they are here (BBMak, anyone?).

It's not a bad song this. I like the one Ed Sheeran's written for them too.

This is horrific, sounds like he is trying to sing higher than Adam Levine

'Hotel Ceiling's been scrapped then?

It wasn't a bad song, far better than that atrocity of the second single at least and the video was good! I can't see how this will do anything at all...

Why are they even bothering

I can't see this song turning around their fortunes to be honest.

After such a great start they have totally ruined their chances now - The record company waited far too long to release a 3rd single and they will almost need to re-launch themselves, Really poor single choice too - Will be lucky if they go Top 40 which is a shame as after 'Me And My Broken Heart' I thought they were going to be massive.

Record labels don't seem to get it that you can't wait forever to release albums in this current music climate. I loved "Wait On Me", but for some reason it didn't connect with the general public.

This is their best song by far. Very Maroon 5. The constant plays on R1 have got me to like it. Stuck in my head all the time!

Not sure the record label will stick with them now tbh with the amount of investment pop/boybands need? This missed the Top 20 and the album is looking like missing the Top 10 with extremely poor sales, Looks like MAMBH was a lucky strike.

Really thought this would have done better as like others have said it's very Maroon 5 and has had great exposure.

The trouble with them I think is that their label's focussed too much of their efforts to make them a hit Stateside and everything's always got released about six months after a US release. By which time most of what is their probably hardcore fanbase have imported it anyway. I can see them being dropped and it's a shame given most of their material thus far I've actually quite enjoyed.
