November 2, 200915 yr Thanks for the facts & figures Sunday. Pleased Hopes & Fears has received much better support than his last two releases. This certainly is the case It appears radio's reluctance to embrace reality tv discoveries has well & truly evaporated. They've had it so bloody easy while the most talented of them all, who has worked so hard at achieving credibility isn't given anywhere near the support. :arrr:

November 4, 200915 yr Thanks for all the latest updates, I wish he'd get more video plays though, it really p's me off when Peter Andre is on a dozen times a day and Will is lucky if he gets 3 plays a day. :rolleyes: Britney's been added today and getting 2 plays an hour. :wacko: Oh happy days, tour starts for me next week. :dancing:
November 4, 200915 yr Nice one Nick Levine. :cheer: Review from DS **** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Will Young: 'Hopes & Fears' Released on Monday, November 9 2009 By Nick Levine, Music Editor It's been said many a time before, but that doesn't mean it's not worth saying again... hasn't the boy done well? Since winning Pop Idol seven years ago, Will Young has released four studio albums, notched up 12 top 40 hits and never had to call anyone from Dancing On Ice, Hell's Kitchen or Celebrity Cash In The Attic back. Now he's receiving the popstar equivalent of the Sterling Service badge - his own 'Best Of' comp. 'Hopes And Fears', the obligatory trailer single, offers ample evidence why he's made it this far. Sounding like a great lost track from Annie Lennox's Diva album, it's a lushly-produced midtempo pop song with lyrics about a relationship that's hitting the skids. "Baby, looks like we're no good, you don't take care of me like you should," Young sings with his usual winning warmth. As with many recent Will singles, the words that best describe it – classy, adult, sophisticated – could also be used in an advert for a high-end sex shop, but since when has that been a bad thing? Just love the first & last lines. :yahoo:
November 4, 200915 yr Thanks TT, that's a great review from DS and I guess this comment is also why Will has so much trouble hitting the high level of airplay, that is awarded to so many of todays throwaway songs and acts, classy, adult, sophisticated. Will may have had his day as a huge single seller, but he'll carry on for as long as he wants to, as the fantastic live entertainer he is, who makes music that he and his fans love. :heart:

'Hopes & Fears' is a grown up pop song about RELATIONSHIP WOES. It's hard to pinpoint exactly where it will fit in the pre-Christmas bunfight - despite being an upbeat number it's almost too fragile for such unsavoury scenes Will's in the business for his love of music. Not sure that can be said of many of today's 'flavours of the month'. :P Love how Nick Levine stresses how well he has done. There's a lot of artists come & gone since Will embarked on his career.

November 4, 200915 yr Author Thanks for that review TT. I looked yesterday and saw he was working his way through the list but hadn't done Will yet. It's a really good one isn't it - no whaffling just straight to the point. :heart:
