Amazing clip! Can't wait etc. Her voice really stands out above the others' :lol:

GODDAMNIT! :angry: That clip is not enough :drama:

The clip sounds amazing. Can't wait for the full thing. I'd even say it's my favourite song ever by an X Factor artist. She is definately big as I can see this being a big hit as she is quite credible and I can see the indie crowd buying into her.

I love the song. The clip of it is amazing. Go DiVi!

THERE'S AN ALBUM SAMPLER?! :drama:

 

From: popjustice.com

Diana Vickers' debut single 'Once' is today's Song Of The Day but we thought you might like to know about some of the other tracks scheduled for inclusion on the album, including contributions from people like Ellie Goudling, Lightspeed Champion and Nerina Pallot.

 

To set the scene we've had the single since the end of last year and the album sampler's been on and off the stereo for a week or so, so we've had a bit of time for it to settle in and what we're dealing with here is a romantic, sometimes quite eccentric collection of charismatic, modern-sounding pop songs, mature sonically and sometimes lyrically without being so 'grown up' that it sounds stupid coming from a teenager. You get the real sense of a personality coming out of these tracks - it's someone who makes mistakes but has their head screwed on. It's quite 'cool', we suppose, without being 'ooh look at me'.

 

That controversial voice? You'll either like her voice or you won't but the songs Diana and her (evidently quite broad-minded) A&R team have come up with for this album do at least play to her's vocal strengths, far more so than those songs she needed to sing during The X Factor.

 

Some quick notes on the album sampler tracks:

 

'Once'

We mentioned in the Song Of The Day writeup that it's a Cathy Dennis song, but it's also an Eg White song meaning that the woman responsible for Will Young's first brilliant single (although 'Evergreen' was better) and the man responsible for Will Young's second brilliant single are here on the same song. Guess what - it's amazing.

 

'Remake Me And You'

A punchy track which Diana wrote with Ellie Goulding. It sounds quite a lot like an Ellie Goulding song. Lots of these songs sound like Ellie Goulding songs, in fact - it's as if both artists started off in different places and headed for the same point, and almost met up in the middle. BASICALLY it is like Ellie Goulding was in Scotland (she wasn't this is just to illustrate our point) and Diana Vickers was in Devon or somewhere (again, she wasn't), and they both went to London, and now they're both in London except one of them's in north London and the other is in west London. They're sort of in the same place now, but slightly different parts of that same place. One thing's for sure: thank God they're not in Birmingham.

 

'The Boy Who Murdered Love'

This is one of the songs we heard last summer when we went to visit Diana and Chris Braide in the studio. It's got a great "shot shot shot shot shot like a bullet" bit as well as various other good bits which contain varying amounts of epicness.

 

'My Hip'

We're not sure who Diana did this song with but it's top notch. From the title you might expect some sort of pensioner anthem ("ooh me joints etc") but it's actually all in the sense of "your hand is back where it belongs - on my hip, on my hip; your voice is sweet and it's singing me a song". Which is probably a wiser subject choice than NHS waiting lists.

 

'Put It Back Together'

This one is really amazing - maybe the best of the lot - and it's a Nerina Pallot-penned tune which begins slowly with the softly delivered advice that "if you think you're sinking, you probably are" then gradually builds to a gallop with a chorus of "I think we'll be alright, I think we can survive, we've got to fall apart and put it back together again". The track continues unfolding and getting gradually more amazing and then it is all over, so you have to go back to the start and listen to it again. A very properly brilliant tune.

 

'Me And You'

A pleasant plinky-plonky-swooshy album track penned by Diana with Lightspeed Champion. It's quite good. The world would continue to turn if this song did not exist. Unlike 'Once', a song whose sudden removal from the cosmos would result in THE END OF ALL TIME.

 

So that is some stuff about the Diana Vickers album sampler. If the rest of the album is of this standard it'll be one of the best X Factor albums of all time; if the rest of the album's $h!t it'll... Well, it'll still be one of the best X Factor albums of all time.

This is getting more and more exciting, the last time I was this excited for a debut album was for Flo's 'Lungs' last year. I can't wait to get home and listen to that clip :w00t:

Once sounds great. She would've been up there with Ellie Goulding and Marina if there wasn't the X Factor tainting her credibility. And as much as I like her, it still taints my view of her.

Why would it taint your view of her? Seriously, people who act like that are a bit ridick IMO, she's worked just as hard on her album and stuff, she's wrote it and she's also juggling doing a West End play (to rave reviews), so what if it was through the X Factor. Appreciate the music and artist, not how they got in the industry.

Sorry, but I can't help it. I can appreciate the music but not the artist. The truth is she got a bit of a free pass to where she is. She may've worked hard on her album, but she skipped all the process that was needed to get to the point where she was even allowed to make an album.

this had to leak while I was ill :( anyway, amazing clip :wub: can't be long until we get the full version.

she's amazing. :wub: :wub:

It actually sounds decent, what a shocker.

That clip is genuinely the most offensive thing I've heard in ages. If her whole album is that repetetive and filled with caterwauling then it's one hell of a waste of some of the fine pop pedigree involved in writing and producing it.

The song sounds alright but I just can't like her voice. I never did. It's so grating and sounds like she's constantly sucking on snot or something.

I'm not sure how she'll do so will be interesting to see!

 

Oh and I hope she promotes the record and still does that hilarious hand thing she did on The X Factor :lol:

looks kinda like mixed reviews so far. although, I think the people who don't like it are probably just haters :rolleyes: oh well. can't wait to hear the whole thing. and the artwork! :w00t: something tells me it's going to be stunning.

I completely agree, it sounds like it could be a good pop song but her voice is just SO grating. Can't stand it. :mellow:

 

Would probably be alright if it was sung by someon else.
