February 2, 201213 yr South African Echoes review from Mambaonline. WILL YOUNG – ECHOES Will’s back with his fifth studio album and he’s got a whole new sound. Gone is the ‘your-gran-will-love-this’ easy listening pop and in its place is synth-infused electropop. The change comes largely in the form of Will wisely recruiting Richard X as album producer. The British songwriter and producer has worked with the likes of Kelis, Goldfrapp, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Sam Sparro and is regarded as a master of synthpop and electropop. But don’t get the wrong idea – this is no David Guetta album. Yes it’s electro but it’s not dance floor fodder. Instead it’s thoughtful, broody and chilled, a definite sign that, 10 years after becoming the world’s first manufactured Pop Idol, Will Young has matured into a successful artist in his own right. There’s plenty to love on Echoes. From the opening track Jealousy, Come On, I Just Want A Lover and Happy Now, Young sings with a breathless intensity, making liberal use of falsetto along the way. It’s grown-up stuff, very far removed from his breakout single Evergreen. And happily so! USELESS FACT: Echoes entered the UK Album Chart at no 1, which means it’s very likely to go platinum, just like his previous albums Keep On and Letting It Go. RATING: 8 out of 10 http://www.mambaonline.com/article.asp?artid=6586

February 3, 201213 yr I enjoyed this write up, loved the bit about him being "One of the foremost video artists of his generation" :dance: ..nice to know the director for the video too. Will Young: New Single, Album Goes Platinum and Tour Dates for 2012 It’s very exciting times for Mr. Will Young as he prepares to release his brand new single ‘Losing Myself’ on March 19th 2011 through XIX Entertainment/RCA Label Group. Another huge slice of sophisticated modern pop, ‘Losing Myself’ is the third single to be taken from Will’s phenomenally successful new album ‘Echoes’ which went straight in the album chart at Number One and has sold an incredible 400,000 copies so far. 2011 was a fantastic year for Will. Besides the success of ‘Echoes’, the first single from the album ‘Jealousy’ was a top five chart and airplay smash, his most successful single in recent years. Grazia called it ‘the best song of the year’. Will has also hosted his own ITV Saturday Night Special which drew over 5 million viewers, and he delivered a fantastic live performance on the Jonathan Ross Show. ‘Losing Myself’ comes with a radio edit of the album version by the Hacienda/Factory Records legend Mike Pickering and a remix by Bimbo Jones. Firmly cementing his reputation as one of the foremost video artists of his generation, Will has produced stunning promos for ‘Jealousy’ and ‘Come On’, and the clip for ‘Losing Myself’ promises similar thrills, directed by Henry Scholfield (Professor Green and Example). Coming on the 10th anniversary of Will’s first audition for Pop Idol in 2001, ‘Echoes’ is his fifth studio album in a career spawning over 8.5 million sales so far. March 2012 sees the 10thanniversary of his debut Number One Single ‘Evergreen’. Produced by Richard X (MIA, Kelis, Goldfrapp,) and with all tracks bar one written by Will, ‘Echoes’ has garnered great reactions from fans and media alike with Sunday Times saying ‘it’s an ace album’, The Guardian calling it ‘classy’ and Attitude pronouncing ‘his vocal delivery never fails to weaken knees’. Following his hugely successful sell-out tour in 2011, and a very special one off Christmas show at the London Palladium, Will brings his live show back, unusually, for a tour of nation’s forests in 2012 as part of Forestry Commission Live Music.

He's always appeared at royal events in the past so I'm hopeful he'll make an appearance for the Diamond Jubilee.
February 6, 201213 yr He's being so quiet isn't he? no tweets and more surprisingly no sightings. :huh: I would love it to be because he has met someone new. :D I hope his video appears this week, it will tie in nicely with his GN appearance.
