September 2, 201113 yr I think as the airplay for Jealousy is good they will wait a bit for the second single, if the single had been dropped from radio already they would of had a second single ready fairly quickly i suppose, i still think that we will get four singles. Nov/Dec for the second..feb/March and then June/July maybe? I wonder then when we would get news of a second? End of September Beginning of October? perhaps. :dance: Yep thats about 6 weeks :cheer: yes if they use that timeframe that will keep us busy if hes off promoting elsewhere :w00t: oh i so want to know what the second one will be, you did mention patience didnt you :lol:

September 4, 201113 yr Posted by Julie on Baby D: Have we read this from Yahoo music? Quote: At one stage it looked very much like we were heading for a second straight Top 3 wipe-out of new entries, but in the event the third big new release of the week faded towards the weekend, stalling eventually at Number 5 - although given the circumstances that is actually a very impressive arrival indeed. The track in question is 'Jealousy', the first chart single in almost two years from the original 2002 Pop Idol winner Will Young and perhaps more impressively his first Top 10 single since 2008 and his first Top 5 single since 'All Time Love' peaked at Number 3 in early 2006. Can we consider this a comeback of sorts?. . What makes the success of the single all the more surprising (and also explaining why its shot at topping the chart missed so badly) is that 'Jealousy' was unusually not released ahead of its parent album but in fact simultaneously with it. Hence if you cast your eyes towards the album chart you will note that it is indeed a former TV Talent star at the top of both listings as Will Young's fifth studio album 'Echoes' has stormed to the top to give him a third Number One album and his first since 'Friday's Child' topped the listings in 2003 and 2004. All things considered one cannot help but admire his staying power. Given he is the product of an audience-selected production line of acts which has produced more flashes in the pan than genuine superstars, Will Young is really the inspiration for all who have followed him. Ten years since he first appeared on our screens as a nervous auditionee performing 'Blame It On The Boogie' for a weary-looking Simon Cowell , and years after he should have ceased to be a credible mainstream pop act, Will Young is still around, still commanding an audience of what is presumably adoring housewives and still in a position to have Number One albums and Top 5 singles. Nobody has ever gone out of their way to fawn over Will Young as a superstar in quite the way they do for the likes of Leona Lewis, but as a man who by the time the promotion for this album finishes will be entering his second decade of music making, you cannot help but think he is long overdue his fair share of proper respect..

September 6, 201113 yr Just thought i'd add my thoughts on Echoes :) I bought the album of course! :) I've got all Will's albums and singles so i couldn't wait to get this. I hate that he won't ever do a CD single again seems odd not having Hopes and Fears, Jealousy in my collection. The TV special was amazing, and boy has he promoted this it's been tough keeping up with Will all over the tv and radio! but Kate was so the right choice as presenter with their PI extra history. Great show. My thoughts on Jealousy I slated it quite hugely a few months back. I thought the song was average, and i didn't like the video.... well now the song has grown on me - i thought it was good before but now i think very good but it's still not amazing like some of the other lead singles have been. The video i get what they where going for and it's obviously worked but i can't say i like the concept too much. Echoes No.1 I was SO HAPPY for Mr Young when i heard he was inline for a Number 1 album, no artist deserves it more, i was elated for Will :) he's deserved every hit album. I was thinking he may decline this year as it's hard to keep the interest up after so long in the music world but he's certainly done it and the credit goes to Will himself for yet again making another brilliant decision. I still am not a huge fan of dance music but listening to the album has made me realise this is just the same old stuff i've always liked with some more oomph. What do i think of the album!? Amazing. Best album of the year so far for me. All his albums have been nothing short than amazing. Being a fan from day one i never expected anything less than amazing and i'm impressed. It's a great album. Screams quality and substance just like the singer himself - Well done Will another brilliant album. Come on is the next single!!? YES! Brilliant choice. That song is amazing and suits Will's voice perfectly. The special was amazing but the performance of that song was something else. I can only think it's gonna help him sell many more albums and singles as well. I was stunned Jealousy did so well but it's so deserved because's Will's amazing. I don't think Jealousy is the best ever Will song i've ever heard but it's good enough and well done Mr Young and another Top 2 studio album, and a top 5 single - the first in 5 years. I have no more words! a brilliant album i'm gonna constantly play. I just want him to get that Brit award for Best Male solo artist now, he deserves it - a performance on the Brits of Come on like he did in the special would be good too. It was most amusing watching Radio 1 change quarters and start playing Jealousy after it become obvious it's a hit, they where snubbing it before TUT TUT. A third single's a tough choice, but i think there's plenty of viable options as the case on all Will albums. Cannot wait another yet flawless album, but this one Mr Young is another masterpiece.

September 9, 201113 yr I'm not sure if we've seen this one yet but it's just popped up on twitter, loved the bit in Bold. :wub: Four Stars. Album reviews: Echoes, by Will Young Will Young was the first winner of the UK singing contest, “Pop Idol.” Young won the crown in 2002 and recorded his first album later in the year. Since his win he has completed four more albums, along with a greatest hits album. In the United States he is best known for his song, “Leave Right Now,” which was featured weekly on the American version of “Pop Idol,” “American Idol.” His most recent album was released in August 2011. The album is called “Echoes” and features 13 all new tracks from Young. “Jealousy” is the first song on the album and also the lead single on “Echoes.” The track is catchy, but still has depth and really shows off Young’s strengths. It was the perfect choice for the first single. This is a slow song that features piano through the verses with percussion added in the chorus. Young’s accent and tone are really apparent in this song and these vocal qualities make the track sound great. The next few songs are all more upbeat, dance-inspired tracks. “Come On” and “I Just Want a Lover” are both catchy tracks with distinct tunes that get stuck in your head. “Come On” really highlights the vocals and also includes some variations in the instrumental beat. It is a bit repetitive, which some listeners may find annoying. “I Just Want a Lover” is a sexy and passionate song with a mystical quality. It begins with the chorus and has very fast lyrics through the whole song. “Lie Next to Me” is another love song that’s a bit slower with stretched out vocals. It starts out with just Young and no instrumentals, but drums are added as he goes into the chorus. This song has a very chorus asking the question, “Would you lie next to me?” “Runaway” incorporates mostly drums with piano in the background. It has a unique beat and special effects added. The vocals are very up and down, and allow Young to showcase his vocal abilities. The next two tracks, “Outsider” and “Silent Valentine” slow the album down a bit. These tracks are about very different topics, but are both on the sad side. “Outsider” is a calming song with insightful lyrics. Young sings, “Taking my time to find a new smile on my face/Wondering how/I'm back here now again/My feet won’t run/I've slowed right down in my mind/The clocks are on strike/They will not tell the time.” There is a beautiful vocal quality in this song. The only negative part of this track is that it is so short. “Silent Valentine” is a sad love song. It begins with piano and percussion is later added. The beat speeds up a bit over the course of the song, but it is still quite a slow song. Around the bridge is probably the best part of the track, where it seems as if Young’s voice and the instrumentals meld together and become one. The pace picks back up with “Losing Myself” and “Personal Thunder.” Both tracks are upbeat and show off Young’s vocal range. “Losing Myself” is a song about feeling insecure that many people will relate to. Young sings, “Keep walking to my own beat/It's hard to be out of the scene/Don't you know all these people/They stick to themselves/And no-one's allowed to evolve.” “Personal Thunder” is probably one of the best tracks on the album. It is another track about feeling unsure about yourself and looking for your way in the world. The music stops periodically to really highlight the vocals. There is a very nice part at the end with just Young’s vocals and the piano. In contrast to how it began, the track ends slowly. “Hearts on Fire” is another fast-paced track that changes the music up a bit by including more guitars. The song is a mysterious love song with slow vocals, but upbeat music. The tracks “Happy Now” and “Good Things” live up to their titles. These are both optimistic songs that will definitely put the listener in a good mood. “Happy Now” has a nice drum and piano mix to make it a mid-paced song. From the beginning there is a very happy vibe to the track. In the chorus Young describes his feelings as being “Just like the sun over the hill/You say I won't I say I will/I'm feeling happy now, you know I'm happy now.” “Good Things” is another track with fast lyrics. On this album, Young really shows that he has a talent for singing songs with fast lyrics while staying perfectly on pitch. The vocals in this song are unique and the track makes you want to get up and dance. Young ends the album with a slow track. “Safe From Harm” is a good song with incredible lyrics. The lyrics are also sad and defeated, but Young describes his feelings with clarity when he sings, “your being cruel/always hurting me/there’s blood on your hands/that you can’t see/and you got too many scars.” The vocals are controlled, but very powerful. The song incorporates drums and also includes some nice effects. Although it is sadder than the previous tracks, it’s a good song and a good way to end the album. The album “Echoes” is a unique listening experience and Young proves once again that he is a seasoned artist with many talents. He has a great tone that he uses in various ways throughout the album. His vocals are perfect and the album includes diverse beats. Will Young has definitely set himself apart from other artists over the course of his career and “Echoes” is another example of that. “Echoes” is currently climbing the UK charts and is available on iTunes. http://www.helium.com/items/2225219-album-...s-by-will-young Edited September 10, 201113 yr by Sweetwilliamfan
