WILL YOUNG FINDS HIS GROOVE

Surely this wasn't supposed to happen. Will Young - of Pop Idol, Very Good Music Video ('Who Am I?', 'Switch It On' and 'Friday's Child') and Mr Nice Guy fame - has made one of the year's best electro-pop tunes.

'Jealousy', the first single from his sixth album 'Echoes', combines God-among-men Richard X's production and Will's soaring vocals. The result is a thoroughly modern pop song that both pulls at the heartstrings and feels genuinely euphoric.

Will apparently chose his new musical direction following his brilliant Groove Armada feature 'History'. Although more Groove Armada/Will material would have been brilliant to hear, we're not-exactly-dissappointed to be getting a FULL ALBUM of Richard X's knob twiddling loveliness.

Wow, William. The boy done good - very bloody good.

Will Young – Jealousy

http://www.musicomh.com/music/features/features_images/tracks_will-young.jpg

 

There's nothing like launching an album campaign with a full frontal picture of yourself dressed eyebrow-raisingly in fetching white lycra. Especially if you have a nickname that rhymes with your actual name. While some onlookers doubtless will be suffering pangs of jealousy at how snugly Will Young fits into his striking outfit, the song itself - the first taste of upcoming album Echoes - marks a change of direction for the sometime talent contest winner whose career over the last decade now surely transcends such associations.

 

Young's Groove Armada collaboration History and some tasty Fred Falke remixes - especially of Tell Me The Worst - hinted at things to come. Now, Jealousy continues Young's embracing of gossamer-smooth electropop, sounding like a missing harmony for Robyn's Dancing On My Own and highlighting a beautifully delivered pop vocal.

 

Get jealous at Will on a trapeze with the video here:

Thanks to roma. :thumbup:

 

We do have a thing for well-manufactured pop music here at A First Class Riot, and when it comes crafted by the best producers and writers out there, then you know we’ll be first in line to hear the results. So it’s with great expectation that we’re waiting for the next album from the original Pop Idol winner, Mr. Will Young, a work which will be entirely produced by Richard X (Annie, M.I.A., Róisín Murphy, Rachel Stevens, Goldfrapp…). Jealousy, its first single, is pure-pop-gold, with its fusion of electronic and dance elements, and the subtle use of dreamy synths, serving as background to a flawless melody that hints a lot to the more melancholic side of things. It all sounds very controlled, but with an underlined tension that is further explored in its acrobatics-heavy video. In it, Will is lusting for a boy that is (probably) out of his league, something that, apparently, makes him feel hurt. And slightly mad. And looking a bit like a scary-stalker. No more Mr-Nice-Guy? Watch below.

Some fab comments about Will and Jealousy from Radio Mindnight in France.

THE recipe for success. Not to mention a wonderfully made video. The class made in Britain.
The pop sound of the summer!

Here the tweet...with link to the radio promo of Will.

Thanks Bev. :thumbup: Surely they will go ahead with an overseas release given the feedback, if Will is willing to put aside the time to promote there.

I think the song and video are going to take off around the world Gill..so much interest everywhere, for me it's such a joy to see, i wonder if the interest from around the world was to good news work wise Will mentioned on radio? he's already doing Italian Vogue. :dance:

 

On a side not..i feel for those guys in Malaysia who keep tweeting their local station to play him..have you see the tweets? bless. hope their tweeting pays off. :thumbup:

Will Young — "Jealousy"

Outside of the U.S., Will Young has already achieved multiplatinum success as an out gay man and a quasi-soul pop singer — becoming the most approximate successor we've got to, say, George Michael. But on his forthcoming sixth album Echoes, Young teams up electropop producer Richard X for a sound that's already feeling like a reinvention: Lead single "Jealousy" is as emotive and grief-stricken as you can get when you're going four to the floor. It's also total pop gold.

A mention is the Sidney Observer too.

Will Young’s love triangle

 

Having reaped praised for his new single Jealousy, Will Young released his video for the track at the weekend, which features a classic love triangle story.

 

The beautifully shot clip is set in the world of acrobatics and adds a bit of a queer twist to its homage to films like 1954′s Trapeze starring Tony Curtis.

 

Young also gets decked out in some tight-fitting outfits for all those crushing on the openly-gay pop star.

 

Jealousy is the first single from the former Pop Idol contestant’s forthcoming album, Echoes. This is Young’s fifth studio album, the last being Let It Go in 2008

Jealousy

 

Will Young's progress as an artist since Pop Idol has been impressive, seemingly finding his feet as a solo performer, shedding his slightly twee pop songs for something more robust. Many hoped last year's terrific collaboration with Groove Armada - 'History' - showed the way for his future music and this first single from his forthcoming album indicates that could be the case.

 

'Jealousy' begins gently enough, with the slightly vulnerable vocal, talking of burning fires and the power of the green eyed monster, before the beat kicks in after 30 seconds – and from there the track builds impressively.

 

An obvious delight for radio stations, given the right support, this could be Young’s biggest hit for sometime. There’s no fear of scaring his middle-aged backers but there's certainly some musical progress. If the album matches this taster the autumn tour dates
