Prefer All The Songs over the new single personally but both are decent. Didn't realise till I read in the newspaper that My Love was filmed in my town lol. Its not like anyone films anything here. Impressed that he's got another top 2 album nearly 20 years later and from someone who won a talent show as well! Yes it’s great, but the reason is that he was never your archetypal talent show winner, there’s much more to him than meets the eye as well as his wonderful singing ability. |

Have to applaud him, he has managed to get a really successful career from a talent show. Probably helped that he was one of the first but definitely helped that he took control and didn’t allow himself to be promoted as an of the moment pop star releasing endless cover versions. Was listening to the Friday’s Child album the other day and it still sounds great.

A very solid album ❤️
My favourites are Get Me Dancing and Forever. Forever gives me the "Hearts On Fire" vibe, love it so much. |

Impressed that he's got another top 2 album nearly 20 years later and from someone who won a talent show as well! Reminds me of Friday's Child being filmed in my old hometown (Saltdean) and the basic swimming pool I used to go to (Newhaven), seemed so random to me as nobody ever goes to or even knows of these places ----- Anyway, this album is really good. Get Me Dancing and Ground Running are my initial standouts but the whole album is so solid, cohesive and consistent. Good for him getting another top two album so many years into his career! |

Agree with your comments about the album, I’ve played it a great deal and there’s not one track I dislike. My favourite place in the album is from Say Anything to The Way Wr Were then back to the beginning for All Songs, My Love, and Scars, Get Me Dancing and Ground Running. It all flows so well. |

Just posting to say that I'm loving all the songs on Lexicon, in my opinion it's way better and superior lyrically than Echoes.
Roll on October when I can see him manchester. |

I like the album alot but i think the first half is stronger than the second.
Ground Running is the obvious next single. Addictive! |

So many failed opportunities for singles
From Now On...i would have loved 'Over You' to be released. It's a corker! Friday's Child....Out Of My Mind is a real gem. This is though an OUTSTANDING album, one of my fave by any artist of all time. Keep On...I think Ain't Such A Bad Place To Be / Madness could have really worked well. Under-rated! Not a bad title track either... Let It Go....I Won't Give Up is a real groover...reminds me of Your Game. Then, Tell Me The Worst really showcases Will vocally as does If Love Equals Nothing - thats the sort of song that sells albums. Echoes....so many? Hearts On Fire, Happy Now, Silent Valentine? Need i continue... 85% Proof...not as strong in terms of singles and i think they got it mostly right but U Think I'm Sexy was really different and cool for me.. Lexicon...it'd be criminal not to release Ground Running. Scars gave me goosebumps the first time i heard it. This post has been edited by sajjadali: Jul 16 2019, 01:03 AM |

'Ground Running' confirmed as the third single.
Added to Will's singles playlist a week ago on Spotify! Fab video please. Pretty much all the confirmation we needed. |
