Thanks to Julie (will4me).

WILL YOUNG : Thank You

No, no… Thank YOU, Will Young, for providing us with another altogether excellent collection of pop nuggets like your latest single ‘Thank You’.
The British singer hasn’t enjoyed much of a presence down under for a number of years, forcing his local fans to import physically or (worse) illegally download his material.
Thankfully his new label fully understands the needs of his local fanbase, releasing his latest album ‘85% Proof’ digitally here in Australia at the end of last month.
‘Thank You’ was co-penned with Jim Eliot, whose previous body of work includes Olly Murs’ ‘Dear Darlin’, Ellie Goulding’s ‘Anything Can Happen’, Kylie’s ‘All The Lovers’ and ‘2 Hearts’, as well as tracks from Will’s previous album ‘Echoes’.
Will always gives good video – and ‘Thank You’ is no exception; he sits in solemn silence in the steam room, before being surrounded by others sharing his space who break out into a contemporary dance routine. Three minutes and 52 minutes of marvellousness, pure and simple.

Sadly my worry over airplay seems to be happening. Only 19 plays so far and no new stations showing any interest. sad.gif

I was just thinking the same today. The majority of those plays are a single small station. If radio 2 playlists it this week that'll be great but who else will?

I can't think of any. Magic seem to have ditched it after a couple of plays.

Not sure whether to be disappointed or relieved. What a poor single choice! sad.gif

I know it's hard but I have faith in Will's choices, it's a great song and video, I love it and if it was being sung by the likes of James Bay or Sam Smith, it would be getting hammered on radio1, radio2 and Heart now, but it's not going to be but I shall remain positive and hope for the best. biggrin.gif

SINGLE REVIEW: WILL YOUNG – ‘THANK YOU’
Published On July 4, 2015 | By Meggie Morris | Music, Singles & EP's
Despite widespread cynicism surrounding talent show acts, the first ever winner of the worldwide “Pop Idol” franchise, Will Young, has surpassed the sceptical expectations of his critics and firmly established himself as a pop music mastermind with an exceptional voice. Since winning the British music contest in 2002, Young has forged for himself a varied career. As well as starring in musical productions, presenting documentaries, writing political pieces for outlets including the Huffington Post, and penning a best-selling biography, Young has casually released six albums to date, including four number ones. His most recent offering, 85% Proof, has been described by Clash Magazine as ‘The most deliciously instinctive and relentlessly endearing pop music you’ll hear this year”. Thank You, the latest single to be lifted from the album, speaks volumes about the singer’s astonishing ability to continually create big pop ballads, which take inspiration from numerous genres, but unfailingly centre on that distinctive voice and graceful melodic writing.
Will Young 85 ProofWith Thank You, the talent that won him an entry into the industry over a decade ago is immediately obvious. A mist of redolent strings and a chorus of female backing singers support his incredibly expressive voice, which is captivating as it is communicative. The choir eventually drops to a single female voice delivering vocal counterpoint to Young’s chorus at the track’s affecting climax. Soulful undertones of melancholy pave the way for a dramatically subdued ending, as Young delivers an exasperated final dismissal to whoever had the audacity to break his heart, and ours in the process.
As Young is set to embark upon his first tour in four years (The Love Revolution National UK Tour) Thank You reminds us that the marriage of intelligent, mature writing with an exceptional voice and evocative presence is a sincere winner and Young’s forte – a deceptively simple formula that will see the artist thrive for another 13 years of miscellaneous successes.

Thanks TT. A great review.

I wouldn't say they are necessarily 'bad' choices - just that I don't believe they are strong enough to carry the flag for the album. I really believe that one of the de-luxe tracks would have been better.I can't uinderstand why they didn't release Like a River as a single - it has a great rhythm and incessant beat and tends to stick in the mind. Just my choice of course.

The fact that LR hasn't been picked up and run with is not good because if people don't hear him for longer than just couple of weeks on the Beeb then they won't know he even has an album out. He hasn't done as much promo this time round either.
